Tender Description
The Ghost Nets Innovative Solutions grant program provides up to $3 million to fund interested and capable organisations and community groups to undertake projects to better detect, collect or dispose of ghost nets and other harmful forms of marine debris in the northern Australian waters and coastal areas, and to raise public awareness of the issue.
The program was established as part of the Australian Government's Ghost Nets Initiative. It will run over two years from 2022-23 to 2024-25.
The program objectives are to:
- Provide a direct environmental benefit by increasing the capacity of communities to deal with ghost nets and marine debris in remote parts of northern Australia, through:
- Fostering ongoing new collaborative partnerships; and
- Seeding innovative new ideas
- Increase public awareness of the ghost nets and marine debris issue through:
- Supporting education and awareness-raising activities
- Bolster new employment and economic opportunities in regional and remote communities through ghost nets and marine debris projects that will:
- Initiate the establishment of long-term employment generating activities in the community
- Provide wider economic opportunities to the local community, for example local suppliers and services that contribute to the project’s activities.
