DEP Awards $10 Million for Innovative Technologies to Combat Harmful Algal Blooms DEP Awards $10 Million for Innovative Technologies to Combat Harmful Algal Blooms Florida Department of Environmental Protection sent this bulletin at 03/28/2025 11:30 AM EDT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 28, 2025 CONTACT: DEP Press Office, 850-245-2112, DEPNews@FloridaDEP.
gov DEP Awards $10 Million for Innovative Technologies to Combat Harmful Algal Blooms TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) awarded $10 million in grants for 15 projects focused on mitigating the effects of harmful algal blooms, including blue-green algae.
These projects will deploy and evaluate cutting-edge technologies to prevent bloom occurrences and implement treatment strategies to minimize environmental and economic impacts.
“With this investment, we are enhancing our ability to take proactive steps to prevent harmful algal blooms and, if they were to occur, to respond to blooms more effectively than ever before, protecting both our natural resources and local communities,” said DEP Secretary Alexis A. Lambert .
“Through our comprehensive regulatory and restoration efforts, we remain committed to reducing nutrient loading in our waterbodies and minimizing the frequency and severity of harmful algal blooms,” said Florida Chief Science Officer Dr. Mark Rains . “While progress continues, occasional blooms will still occur.
The innovative technologies developed through this program are equipping responders with critical tools to mitigate their impacts more effectively. ” Since launching the Innovative Technology for Harmful Algal Blooms Grant Program in 2019, Florida has invested in more than 65 innovative technologies to combat harmful algal blooms. This program has also enabled DEP to secure multiple contracts for responsive bloom management.
As a result, innovative technology vendors are now on standby to respond to algal blooms, including one focused on Lake Okeechobee and its surrounding areas. Notably, since this technology has been deployed, there have been no discharges of algal mats from Lake Okeechobee to the St. Lucie or the Caloosahatchee estuaries in the past two years.
Florida remains committed to proactive, science-based solutions to address harmful algal blooms. The success of this program has positioned the state as an international leader in innovative water quality management, leading DEP to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with South Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research to enhance harmful algal bloom management and response.
Governor Ron DeSantis recently reinforced his commitment to tackling harmful algal blooms by proposing an additional $10 million for the program in his Focus on Fiscal Responsibility Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 . A list of Innovative Technology Grant projects selected for Fiscal Year 2024-25 can be found at ProtectingFloridaTogether. gov/Grants .

While headlines chase AI and defense money, USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture runs a tight summer competitive cycle — Equipment Grants (June 25), Agricultural Genome to Phenome (June 29), New Beginning for Tribal Students (July 2), and Crop Protection and Pest Management (July 6). Here is how the four programs fit together, who is eligible, and why the land-grant system has a structural edge.

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
