Projects awarded through this grant competition will create long-term, quantifiable ecological benefits and habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources through on-the-ground marine debris removal activities, with highest priority for those targeting derelict fishing gear and other medium- and large-scale debris.

Funding of up to $2,500,000 is expected to be available for Marine Debris Removal grants in Fiscal Year 2020.
