Gulf of Mexico Division Funding Opportunities

The Gulf of Mexico Division is a non-regulatory geographic program under the EPA, and our work is centered around preserving and protecting the Gulf of Mexico. The way that we do this is primarily through funding assistance agreements based on our statutory authority to conduct and promote coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, trainings, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution as seen in Section 104 (b)(3) of the Clean Water Act.

Our mission is focused on the health, productivity and restoration of the Gulf of Mexico and the communities that rely on this national resource.

The Gulf of Mexico Division works with each of the five U.S. Gulf Coast states and other stakeholders in the Gulf of Mexico Watershed including the six Mexican Gulf Coast states on projects that support the following priority areas: Water Quality, Habitat Restoration, Environmental Education and Outreach, and Community Resilience.
