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 to submit section 306A documentation on their
approved coastal zone management plans. Funds are also provided to
states and territories to develop their coastal management
documents. The information submitted is used to determine if
activities achieve national coastal management and enhancement
objectives and whether states and territories are adhering to their
approved plans.

of new funds to support a competitive grant program (Section 309)
added 30 responses and 60 hours. Section 309 Strategy &
