NOAA Pays 70% of Mapping Projects
If you are a non-Federal entity, NOAA will pay 70% of the costs for approved ocean, coastal, or Great Lakes mapping projects. NOAA will match at a 70:30 NOAA:partner ratio and will fund up to $1,000,000 per project.
Access to NOAA Contracting and Data Help
Selected non-Federal partners can leverage NOAA's contracting and data management expertise when carrying out mapping projects. That means NOAA helps with contracts and handling the mapping data as part of the partnership.
Awards Depend on Available Funds
This mapping funding opportunity is subject to the availability of funds, so NOAA awards and the money you receive depend on whether funds are available. The notice states funding is limited and contingent on available appropriations.

2026-14204, Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary; Delay of Effective Date
NOAA is giving everyone more time before the rule that bans grappling or anchoring on Lake Ontario shipwrecks kicks in. Instead of starting in July 2026, this rule is now delayed until September 2028 to let NOAA set up mooring buoys and work with divers and boaters. This means boaters and commercial vessels can keep anchoring safely while NOAA gets everything ready without rushing.

This change affects anyone involved in protecting endangered plants and animals by shifting how “harm” is understood and enforced.

2026-16192, Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic; Requests for Exempted Fishing Permits
NMFS announces the receipt of three applications for exempted fishing permits (EFP) from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR), and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR). If issued by NMFS, each EFP would exempt the applicable state agency and participating fishermen from specific Federal regulations applicable to the recreational harvest of red snapper in the South Atlantic. The applicants each propose to pilot test state data collection and management strategies for the recreational harvest of red snapper in 2026. The outcomes of the 2026 EFPs would inform the need and refinement of future EFP applications. The purposes of these EFPs are to improve data on recreational fishing effort, catch, and discards of red snapper in the South Atlantic and to inform the development of a long-term state-led management strategy for the recreational harvest of red snapper.
