As the name implies, this call is for locally driven, community-based marine debris prevention and removal projects that benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and wildlife including migratory fish. Our first Great Lakes project came out of this call last year! If you know of any organizations or communities that have an interest in debris in the Great Lakes, please pass along the information. I'm trying to reach out to the region as much as possible!
