The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking applications for $5 million in grants to remove trash from Great Lakes harbors, river mouths and waterfronts.

The agency is looking to fund 10 large-scale projects as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a multi-agency project that provides funding for projects affecting Great Lakes states, with at least $300,000 grants.

The grants will be available to non-federal government entities, nonprofit private agencies and colleges and universities that use mechanical devices, vessels and other technology to remove trash from the Great Lakes.
