Coastal grant program deadline

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Coastal Management Program will be accepting applications for a Coastal Partnership Initiative (CPI) grant program until Oct. 30. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) makes these federal funds available on a competitive basis to eligible governments to support community projects such as habitat restoration, park planning and improvements, waterfront revitalization and improving communities’ resiliency to coastal hazards.
