Wisconsin Coastal Management Program
The Wisconsin Coastal Management Program (WCMP) is seeking proposals
to enhance, preserve, protect and restore resources within the state's
coastal zone - all counties adjacent to Lakes Superior and Michigan,
with their nearly 1000 miles of shoreline. We anticipate awarding
approximately $1.5 million in grant funding.
WCMP Grants are available for coastal wetland protection and habitat
restoration, nonpoint source pollution control, coastal resource and
community planning, Great Lakes education, public access and historic
preservation. Applications are due
November 4, 2016.
Applicants are encouraged to contact WCMP staff early to discuss ideas
for project proposals and application requirements. When developing
proposals, please pay close attention to the following items:
* Application materials and the Request for Proposals are
available on the WCMP website
(
http://coastal.wisconsin.gov<
http://coastal.wisconsin.gov/>
).
* There is a cost-share requirement for all projects.
Matching funds must be from non-federal sources, and may be in the
form of in-kind contributions.
* For habitat restoration and construction projects, be sure
to include copies of all required permits or permit applications and
title documentation with the application materials.
* For all projects, be sure to include copies of required
documentation and letters of support.
We have scheduled three informational workshops to discuss the grant
application process and funding priorities. We look forward to seeing
you at one of these workshops. If you have questions, please call WCMP
