However, the territory's marine ecosystems are facing significant threats, including climate change, overfishing, and pollution. To protect these ecosystems, the USVI government and local stakeholders are working to develop marine conservation initiatives that prioritize habitat restoration, species conservation, and community-led conservation efforts.

Eligible applicants include local government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community groups. The funding aims to support projects that address the USVI's unique marine conservation challenges, such as protecting coral reefs and sea grass beds.
