FY24 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Coastal Zone Management Habitat Protection and Restoration 

This competitive grant program is expected to fund a combination of habitat restoration and land conservation projects that are ‘shovel ready’ or reasonably advanced in the due diligence process, as well as habitat restoration planning, engineering, and design projects that will create a pipeline of future projects. Proposals that include on-the-ground implementation will be given priority compared to those that include only pre-implementation activities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) aims to fund high-impact projects that can have a transformational effect on an ecosystem or community. Any coastal state or territorial Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program that has been approved by NOAA pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act is eligible for funds under this announcement. For selected projects, NOAA may make financial assistance awards to the lead CZM Program.
