About the company
Mississippi Department Of Marine Resources is a U.S. state government entity that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants (96% of awards) in fisheries research, coastal management, marine habitat restoration, and boating infrastructure across Mississippi's Gulf Coast and inland waterways. The agency is a subordinate division within the State of Mississippi administrative structure and competes exclusively in full-and-open federal grant programs; it does not hold contracts or SBA set-asides.
MDMR's customer base is dominated by two federal grantor agencies. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 funds the bulk of the agency's work — 69 awards carrying $326 thousand combined potential value — focused on Sport Fish Restoration formula grants (CFDA 15.605) for fishery monitoring, artificial reef development, and recreational boating infrastructure. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the second-largest customer with 74 awards totaling $44 thousand in combined potential value, primarily under the Coastal Zone Management Estuarine Research Reserves program (CFDA 11.420) and Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards (CFDA 11.419). These two agencies account for 95% of the combined potential value across MDMR's footprint. MDMR also receives awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Port Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.056) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service for seafood industry pandemic relief.
Representative work spans fisheries science, infrastructure, and restoration. Under the Sport Fish Restoration program, MDMR conducts tag-and-release research on sport fish species including cobia, tripletail, red drum, and spotted seatrout to document migratory patterns and inform Gulf Coast stock assessments; recent awards support acoustic telemetry monitoring in Grand Bay and camera-based reef fish surveys. The agency administers the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, a NOAA-funded research and education facility in Biloxi, Mississippi, receiving cooperative agreements for operations, habitat monitoring, and environmental research — a $1.3 million cooperative agreement (CFDA 11.420) awarded September 1, 2026, through February 28, 2028, funds habitat restoration, water quality monitoring, and community training. MDMR also manages boating infrastructure grants under the Boating Infrastructure Grant program (CFDA 15.622), funding transient marina development and dock renovation at sites such as Pelican Point Marina and Captain's Wharf Marina. Coastal zone management work includes administration of Mississippi's federally approved coastal management program, wetlands permitting and compliance, management of 20 coastal preserve systems, and dredged-material beneficial-use initiatives.
MDMR operates as a prime recipient on nearly all awards; sub-award activity is minimal (4% of total awards) and flows through partners including the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission, Mississippi State University, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the Department of Environmental Quality Mississippi on specific research and restoration projects. Activity has remained steady at 14–20 awards per year over the past five years, with 19 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The agency's award portfolio is concentrated in formula grants and cooperative agreements with multi-year performance periods (two to five years), and funding flows through state cost-share mechanisms including the Mississippi Tidelands Trust Fund. Place of performance is Biloxi, Mississippi, with operational scope extending across Mississippi's three coastal counties (Hancock, Harrison, Jackson) and subordinate estuarine research reserves and coastal preserve systems statewide.
