marine debris. The MDP is a centralized
office within NOAA that coordinates
and supports activities, both within the
bureau and with other federal agencies,
which address marine debris and its
impacts. In addition to inter-agency
coordination, the MDP uses
partnerships with state and local
agencies, tribes, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and industry to
investigate and solve the problems that
stem from marine debris through
research, prevention, and reduction
activities, in order to protect and
conserve our nation’s marine
environment and ensure navigation
safety.
The Marine Debris Research,
Prevention, and Reduction Act (33
U.S.C. 1951 et seq.) as amended by the
Marine Debris Act Amendments of 2012
(Pub. L. 112–213, Title VI, Sec. 603, 126
Stat. 1576, December 20, 2012) outlines
three central program components for
the MDP to undertake: (1) Mapping,
identification, impact assessment,
removal, and prevention; (2) reducing
and preventing fishing gear loss; and (3)
outreach to stakeholders and the general
public. To address these components,
the Marine Debris Act authorized the
MDP to establish several competitive
grant programs on marine debris
research, prevention and removal that
provide federal funding to non-federal
applicants throughout the coastal
United States and territories.
The terms and conditions of the
financial assistance awarded through
these grant programs require regular
progress reporting and communication
of project accomplishments to MDP.
Progress reports contain information
related to, among other things, the
overall short and long-term goals of the
project, project methods and monitoring
techniques, actual accomplishments
(such as pounds of debris removed from
an ecosystem, numbers of volunteers
participating in a cleanup project, etc.),
status of approved activities, challenges
or potential roadblocks to future
progress, and lessons learned. This
information collection enables MDP to
monitor and evaluate the activities
supported by federal funds to ensure
accountability to the public and to
ensure that funds are used consistent
with the purpose for which they were
appropriated. It also ensures that
reported information is standardized in
such a way that allows for it to be
meaningfully synthesized across a
diverse set of projects and project types.
MDP uses the information collected in
a variety of ways to communicate with
federal and non-federal partners and
stakeholders on individual project and
general program accomplishments.
