Marine Resources Maine Department Of

Marine Resources Maine Department Of is a state government agency within Maine that receives federal grant sub-awards as a sub-recipient; the agency does not hold prime federal contracts or serve as a prime grant recipient. The department operates as a child entity of the State of Maine and participates in federal programs spanning fisheries research, marine resource management, and disaster recovery infrastructure.

The Marine Resources Maine Department Of's recent federal footprint consists primarily of grant sub-awards routed through two prime grantees. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission awarded the department a grant sub-award in September 2026 for FY25 West Coast Habitat Assessment (NARW) funds; the agency also received two consecutive sub-awards from the Emergency Management Agency Maine in early 2025 for infrastructure projects on Burnt Island — restoration of a boat house, storage unit, and boardwalk (March 2025) and debris removal (January 2025). Over the data window, the department has recorded twelve total awards spanning from 2004 to 2026, with concentrated activity in 2004–2005 (nine awards across both years) and sparse recent activity (three awards since 2025). The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program accounts for two of the three named sub-awards; the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration represents a third active customer agency.

Award categorization reflects fisheries and environmental stewardship work. The department's recent awards fall under finfish farming and fish hatcheries (2 awards), environmental consulting services (2 awards), and research-and-development categories spanning defense-related research, general environmental sciences, and animal and fisheries analysis. Combined potential value across all awards is $959 thousand, though obligated dollars total $18.8 million — a 1961% ratio that reflects the agency's multi-year obligation pattern on individual awards. The department holds no seats on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs and does not appear as a prime contractor or prime grant recipient in recent federal procurement.
