This $963,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) will support the removal of eight large abandoned and derelict vessels (ADVs) and other associated marine debris from the Carquinez Strait in Benicia, California. The award will fund the completion of federal and state permitting, the development of an engineering and design plan, and partial support for the actual removal and restoration activities. This effort will improve navigational safety, prevent further degradation of vital aquatic habitats such as mudflats, tidal marshes, and eelgrass beds, and enhance the local waterfront for the community. The City of Benicia, a U.S. local government entity, is the prime recipient of this grant award, which has a performance period from June 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028.
