The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) was awarded a $330,000 Project Grant under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Port Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.056). The award, dated September 1, 2024, will support various maritime security enhancement activities at Wisconsin's ports over a 36-month performance period ending August 31, 2027. This federal grant funding will enable WDNR to procure patrol vessels, communications equipment, surveillance systems, and conduct security training and exercises to improve maritime domain awareness and protect critical transportation infrastructure from potential terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. As a sub-recipient, WDNR may partner with local governments, tribes, universities, and non-profit organizations to implement the grant-funded projects across the state.
