Successful projects will also develop and implement activities to reduce and prevent marine debris by working with students, teachers, industries, or the public, and will engage these groups in active personal participation (e.g.
a small-scale shoreline cleanup with students, other hands-on activities, etc.).
Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements.
Funding of up to $750,000 is expected to be available for Marine Debris Prevention through Education and Outreach grants in FY201 6. Typical awards will range from $30,000 - $75,00 0.
