Abstract: 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.
