Funding Available for Ocean, Shoreline Cleanup

Aug 12, 2022

Community groups, fishing-related organizations and others can once again access funding to support ocean and shoreline cleanup projects throughout Nova Scotia.

The Marine Debris Cleanup Program covers up to 75 per cent of eligible costs for shoreline projects and up to 50 per cent for ocean-based ones, to a maximum $5,000 per project.

“In Nova Scotia, the ocean has shaped our economy and our communities just as it has our shoreline – and keeping it clean is important to all of us,” said Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Steve Craig. “This funding supports the community-based organizations and businesses that take on the important work of keeping our oceans and shorelines clean and free of debris – to the benefit of all Nova Scotians.”

The program is open to organizations in the seafood harvesting, processing, buying, or aquaculture industries, as well as economic development organizations, community associations, and environmental groups. Applicants must be listed with the Registry of Joint Stocks to be eligible.

Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2023, or until all available funding has been awarded. More information and funding applications are available at:

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
