Specifications include, but are not limited to: Each year, Massachusetts coastal communities experience erosion, flooding, and coastal storm damages to property, infrastructure, and natural resources, along with associated economic impacts. These impacts are getting worse as the climate changes. To help address these issues, on behalf of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), the Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) is pleased to be able to issue this Request for Responses for the FY19 Coastal Resilience Grant Program. Administered through CZM’s StormSmart Coasts program, this grant program provides financial and technical assistance to advance innovative and transferable local efforts to increase awareness and understanding of climate impacts, identify and map vulnerable community facilities and infrastructure, develop adaptation plans, and implement non-structural (or green infrastructure) measures to enhance natural storm-damage protection and coastal resilience (i.e., the ability to endure impacts associated with coastal storms and the effects of erosion, flooding, and sea level rise and to respond, recover, and adapt to consequences). Grants are available for a range of coastal resilience approaches—from planning, public outreach, and feasibility assessments to design, permitting, construction, and monitoring.
