The Coastal Partnership Initiative (CPI) grant program was developed to protect and effectively manage, at the local level, Florida's coastal resources.
The Florida Coastal Management Program (FCMP) makes federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) funds available on a competitive basis to eligible local governments. Eligible local governments are defined as Florida's 35 coastal counties and all municipalities within counties' boundaries that are required to include a coastal element in their local comprehensive plan .
Florida's public colleges and universities, regional planning councils, national estuary programs and nonprofit groups also may apply if an eligible local government agrees to participate as a partner. Each year, the FCMP publishes a "Notice of Availability of Funds" in the Florida Administrative Register (FAR) to solicit CPI applications from eligible entities.
CPI grants provide support for innovative, local, coastal management projects in four program areas: Eligible entities may apply for grants for community projects such as habitat restoration, park planning and improvements, waterfront revitalization and improving community resiliency to coastal hazards.
