STAFF REPORT. From the San Mateo County Harbor District Commissioners meeting on Wednesday, December 11th, 2023 at 10:00am, as a hybrid meeting with no remote public comment. Please comment by email.
NOAA: Marine Debris Removal Grant Program
Submitted on: LOI submitted on October 27, 2023;
Full Application due on February 23, 2024
Submitted by: California Consulting, Inc.
Amount Requested: $1,000,000
Brief Summary of Grant Request:
SMCHD’s initial funding request was submitted to NOAA as an LOI to assist with the raising and disposing of a 94’ Tug Vessel (T/V) named “Caleb” that sank over a year ago and currently remains nearly 20 ft. underwater within the outer harbor.
It will cost upwards of $1M to further facilitate the raising, towing and final disposing of this T/V, as it is considered marine debris and poses a hazard to navigation for local commercial fishing fleets within the Pillar Point Harbor.
SMCHD also has several other smaller commercial fishing vessels that we may be able to dispose of as well through this grant, as commercial vessels are ineligible for DBW SAVE grant monies.
STATUS: PENDING
