This program aims to support the removal of marine debris through the use of interception technologies that benefit NOAA trust resources. Funding will be provided for projects that install, monitor, and maintain effective marine debris interception devices. Eligible activities include long-term monitoring and maintenance plans for these devices, targeted marine debris prevention efforts, and demonstrating clear outcomes in debris removal and disposal. Projects should also advance principles of diversity, equity, justice, inclusion, and accessibility, focusing on communities facing environmental, climate, and socioeconomic burdens.
