Marine Sewage Pumpout Facility Grants

Marine Sewage Pumpout Facility Grants is sponsored by Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Provides reimbursement to marinas for the purchase and installation of marine sewage pumpout facilities, as well as for pumpout operations, maintenance, upgrades, and replacement.

aspx Is this a rolling date? : Clean Vessel Act Grant (CVA) Program has awarded grants to States for pump out stations and waste reception facilities that dispose of sewage from recreational boaters. The proper disposal of sewage from vessels at these sites reduces the discharge of raw sewage into bodies of water.

The Department of Natural Resources offers reimbursements of up to $15,000 for eligible applicants. Funding for the Marine Sewage Pump out Grant comes from the federal CVA program (75%) and the Maryland Waterway Improvement Fund (25%).

These funds are available for the purchase and installation of marine sewage pump-out facilities, which State law requires for all new marinas and expanding marinas (more than 10 slips), existing marinas with 50 or more slips berthing any boats over 22’. Supplemental funding for yearly pump-out operations and maintenance is also available, as is funding to upgrade or even replace existing pump-out facilities.

student at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. For her dissertation, she is focused on small shrimp-like crustaceans called mysids – an understudied yet important part of many estuarine and coastal food webs.

Featured Research Project Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels.

Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
