Florida's public colleges and universities, regional planning councils, national estuary programs and nonprofit groups also may apply for CPI funds, if an eligible local government agrees to participate as a partner. CPI grants provide support for innovative, local, coastal management projects in four program areas: Resilient Communities; Public Access; Working Waterfronts and Coastal Stewardship.

State Agency and Water Management Districts Grant Program The Florida Coastal Management Program makes National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funds available on a competitive basis to state agencies and water management districts for projects related to coastal resource protection. Priorities include water quality improvements encompassing research, monitoring, or restoration, and protection of vulnerable coastlines.

43, F. S. , and water management districts Clean Vessel Act Grant The Florida Clean Boating program makes US Fish and Wildlife funds available to public and private marinas that provide public access to pumpout equipment through the Clean Vessel Act (CVA) grant program.
The priority of the CVA program is to improve water quality in Florida’s waterways. DEP provides grant funds to marinas across the state to operate and install pumpout equipment as well as pumpout vessels. The CVA grant program is a great way to upgrade your marina's waste-handling facilities and provide customers with a quick and convenient option for proper disposal.
The CVA grant can fund up to 75% of eligible project costs relating to site preparation, equipment purchase, installation, operations, maintenance, sewage hauling, signage and educational outreach material.
Current facilities (public or private) that provide public access to pumpout equipment Beaches Funding Program Funding for the restoration and nourishment of Florida's critically eroded beaches is managed by the Beach Management Funding Assistance Program.
The program provides and manages grants to local governments and municipalities for planning, implementing, and maintaining beach and inlet management projects that protect upland structures and infrastructure, provide critical habitat for threatened and endangered species, provide recreational opportunities, and support local economies through tourism.
Recognizing the importance of the state's beaches, the Florida Legislature, in 1986, adopted a posture of protecting and restoring the state's beaches through a comprehensive beach management planning program. The program evaluates beach erosion problems throughout the state and seeks viable solutions. The program is authorized by section 161.
101, Florida Statutes, and rules of Chapter 62B-36, F. A. C.
Example Beaches Funding Program Projects Beaches that DEP has designated as critically eroded are eligible for funding. Financial assistance in an amount up to 50% of project costs is available to Florida's local governments, including county and municipal governments, community development districts and special taxing districts. Resilient Florida Program On May 12, 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 1954.
This comprehensive legislation ensures a coordinated approach to Florida’s coastal and inland resiliency. The Resilient Florida Program enhances efforts to protect inland waterways, coastlines and shores, which serve as invaluable natural defenses against sea level rise.
The legislation will yield the largest investment in Florida’s history to prepare communities for the impacts of climate change – including sea level rise, intensified storms and flooding. The submitted applications are available for viewing. ResilientFlorida is the password to access the folder.
The Resilient Florida Program includes a selection of grants that are available to counties, municipalities, water management districts, flood control districts and regional resilience entities. To effectively address the impacts of flooding and sea level rise that the state faces, eligible applicants may receive funding assistance to analyze and plan for vulnerabilities, as well as implement projects for adaptation and mitigation.

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
