Summary
Grants for public agencies, municipalities, educational institutions, and eligible nonprofit organizations involved in waterfront management and coastal improvement projects. The program is designed to support projects that enhance public access to shoreline areas, protect and restore coastal and tidal environments, and improve long-term stewardship of marine and estuarine resources. Funding is typically directed toward infrastructure upgrades, conservation efforts, habitat restoration, education initiatives, and public recreational access improvements. Awards vary depending on project scope and legislative allocation, with total available funding distributed statewide through competitive proposals. Individuals and private small businesses are generally not the primary applicants, as the focus is on public benefit and environmental enhancement across coastal regions.
