The FY2027 President's Budget requests $0.5M for Waterways Management and Environmental Response, within Homeland Security's Research and Development account. That is down 9.4% on the FY2026 figure of $0.5M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $0.5M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $0.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $0.5M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
This project develops and tests an Aids to Navigation (AToN) system design visualization tool to support AToN modernization under a range of operating scenarios, support search and rescue field experiments, and source research on alternative fuels spill response. Additionally, this investment provides testing of night and low visibility sensors to detect oil spills and support northern border and Arctic region research.
