Community-based Marine Debris Prevention and Removal Grants
The NOAA Marine Debris Program supports two grant opportunities for marine debris activities. The first is in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the second is in cooperation with the NOAA Restoration Center's Community-based Restoration Program.
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
With support from the NOAA Marine Debris Program, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) will fund projects that will result in benefits to living marine resource habitats and navigational waterways through removing and/or preventing marine debris, including projects that are coupled with a best management practice that limits the re-accumulation of debris. This NOAA partnership supports innovative and effective conservation and stewardship of our country’s marine and coastal areas.2008 NFWF funding opportunity

Community-based Marine Debris Prevention and Removal Grants
In cooperation with the NOAA Restoration Center, the Marine Debris Program offers another funding opportunity. This grant is provided to catalyze the implementation of locally driven, community-based marine debris prevention and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources including anadromous fish. The NOAA Restoration Center funds projects directly and through partnerships with national and regional organizations.
