Coastal zone management grants provide
funds to States and territories to implement federally approved
coastal zone management plans, revise assessment documents and
multi-year strategies, submit requests to approve amendments or
program changes, and submit section 306A documentation to their
approved coastal management plans. Coastal zone management grants

documents. Information is used to determine if activities achieve
national coastal management and enhancement objectives and if
States are adhering to their approved plan.
