This grant, offered by NOAA, aims to fund innovative Coastal Zone Management Program Enhancement Projects of Special Merit. Its purpose is to encourage US States and Territories with federally-approved coastal management programs (CMPs) to continually improve their initiatives in areas of national importance, specifically through projects aligning with approved enhancement strategies under Section 309 of the Coastal Zone Management Act. Priority areas include Wetlands, Hazards, Cumulative and Secondary Impacts, and Ocean and Great Lakes Resources. Eligibility requires NOAA-approved CMPs to have a 2011-2016 Section 309 Assessment and Strategy addressing at least one of these four critical enhancement priorities.
