'''Clean Vessel Act Program''' (CVA) is a Department of the Interior initiative administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Conservation Investment that has awarded over $359 million in federal grants since 1993 to state boating agencies across the United States and territories, funding the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of over 4,000 pumpout stations and waste reception facilities as of 2025 to curb sewage pollution from recreational boaters. | |||
Established under the Clean Vessel Act of 1992, it disbursed $14.6 million across 25 projects in 18 states and Guam in FY 2024, supporting water quality for fishing, shellfish harvests, and swimming, with 2025 efforts enhancing education via tools like Florida’s Pumpout Nav app and post-Helene recovery projects, leveraging a 75% federal match with over $4.7 million in partner funds annually. | |||
