Grants starting at $50,000 are available to California local governments and others to develop coastline plans or update existing plans. Applicants can apply for funding from two related programs in order to update and certify coastal plans and/or to address sea level changes and to adapt plans and policies accordingly.
The purpose of the grants is to support local coastal planning to develop new LCPs for certification in areas that are not currently certified, or to update existing certified LCPs to reflect new information and changed conditions, especially in light of the effects of climate change, in a manner fully consistent with the policies of the California Coastal Act.
The two coordinated, competitive grant programs are as follows:
• Coastal Commission LCP Planning Grant Program: $1 million available for updating and certifying LCPs; may include updates to address impacts of climate change and sea-level rise. LCP completions and updates to include policies and implementing ordinances that address sea level rise and other climate change impacts will be given special consideration.
• Ocean Protection Council (OPC) LCP Sea-Level Rise Grant Program: $1.2 million available for work that supports LCP updates, specifically to address sea-level rise, including sea-level rise modeling, vulnerability assessments, and adaptation planning and policy development. Priority for OPC funds will be given to planning approaches that emphasize use of natural infrastructure to address climate change impacts.
How to Decide Which Grant to Apply For (Please Read Carefully):
- Projects to complete certification of a LCP or complete a comprehensive LCP amendment should apply for Coastal Commission funds.
- Projects related to sea-level rise modeling and vulnerability assessments should apply for OPC funds.
- Entities responsible for Public Works Plans, Port Master Plans, and Long Range Development Plans are only eligible for the OPC LCP SLR Grant Program.
- Projects that do not have a sea-level rise component, or that have other climate adaptation issues, should apply for Coastal Commission funds.
- Projects that have both a sea-level rise analysis component and a significant LCP planning component can apply for both grant programs.
