The Maritime Administration (Marad) announced in March that $12.4 million is available in fiscal year 2023 funds through the U.S. Marine Highway Program (USMHP), previously named America's Marine Highway Program. The USMHP seeks to increase the use of navigable waterways in the U.S., especially where water-based transport is the most efficient, effective, and sustainable option. Applications must be submitted by April 28, 2023. Contact the USMHP staff via email at mh@dot.gov or by phone at 202-366-1123. In February, the Department of the Interior proposed plans for the first-ever offshore wind lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed sale includes a 102,480-acre area offshore Lake Charles, La., and two areas offshore Galveston, Texas, one comprising 102,480 acres and the other 96,786 acres. These areas have the potential to power almost 1.3 million homes with clean energy, the Interior Department said. |
