GLIN==> NOAA Community-based Marine Debris Removal Grant Now Open

*Funding Opportunity: NOAA Community-based Marine Debris Removal Grant 
Now Open*

Projects awarded through this grant competition have strong 
on-the-ground habitat components involving the removal of marine debris, 
as well as activities that provide social benefits for people and their 
communities, while creating long-term ecological habitat improvements 
for NOAA trust resources.  Eligible projects include those in the Great 
Lakes region. Through this solicitation NOAA identifies marine debris 
removal projects, strengthens the development and implementation of 
habitat restoration through community-based marine debris removal, and 
fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the 
conservation of living aquatic resource habitats. Successful proposals 
through this solicitation will be funded through a cooperative 
agreement. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for 
Community-based Marine Debris Removal Project Grants in FY2012. Typical 
awards will range from $15,000 to $150,000.

Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA-NMFS-HCPO-2012-2003095
