Small Harbor Improvement Projects Program (SHIPP) Round 6
Administered by the Connecticut Port Authority, the Small Harbor Improvement Projects Program (SHIPP) aims to strengthen the State’s maritime economy by improving safe access to Connecticut’s harbors and ports and by offsetting incremental costs associated with related regulatory requirements. Applications are open to municipalities and private entities with eligible maritime-related projects on navigable waterways that are contiguously connected to Long Island Sound.
Municipal applicants may seek funding for planning, construction, repair, and/or dredging activities. Private entities may apply for funding to offset dredging-related costs that exceed those associated with the best‑case, least‑cost placement option. Eligible expenses include sampling, testing, handling, transportation, placement, and related fees.

FY25 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Marine Debris Interception Technologies
The NOAA Marine Debris Program will award up to $7 million through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the installation of proven marine debris interception technologies, throughout the coastal United States, Great Lakes, territories, and Freely Associated States. Projects will focus on the installation, monitoring, and maintenance of proven marine debris interception technologies that will capture marine debris at or close to known marine debris sources or pathways.
Deadline is for Letters of Intent. Full Proposal Deadline: February 7, 2025. Full proposals will only be accepted from applicants that received an invitation to submit a full proposal following review of the letters of intent. Program priorities include: 1) Supporting the installation, monitoring, and maintenance of proven marine debris interception technologies to benefit NOAA trust resources; 2) Long-term monitoring and maintenance of devices through a comprehensive plan; 3) Preventing the reaccumulation of debris through complementary and targeted marine debris prevention activities; 4) Advance the principles of diversity, equity, justice, inclusion, and accessibility and install interception devices that will benefit local communities, especially those facing environmental/climate and socioeconomic burdens; 5) Demonstration of clear marine debris removal and disposal outcomes.

FY25 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Marine Debris Removal
The NOAA Marine Debris Program will award up to $47 million through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the removal of large marine debris throughout the coastal United States, Great Lakes, territories, and Freely Associated States. These removal projects should focus on large marine debris, including abandoned and derelict vessels, derelict fishing gear, and other debris that is generally unable to be collected by hand.
Deadline is for Letters of Intent. Full Proposal Deadline: January 31, 2025. Full proposals will only be accepted from applicants that received an invitation to submit a full proposal following review of the letters of intent. Program priorities are: 1) Impactful, large marine debris removal activities to benefit NOAA trust resources; 2) Preventing the reaccumulation of debris through complementary and targeted marine debris prevention activities; 3) Advance the principles of diversity, equity, justice, inclusion, and accessibility in removal activities that will benefit local communities, especially Tribes and/or those facing environmental/climate and socioeconomic burdens.
