Community Participation Grants
The Coast Protection Board’s Community Participation Grants support voluntary participation in local, small-scale coastal management initiatives.
The objectives of these grants are to:
- Involve and/or educate communities on coastal management
- Enhance community skills and knowledge in rehabilitation, restoration and conservation of the coast and marine environment
- Facilitate partnerships in coast and marine management
- Encourage environmental protection in the wider community
- Achieve practical management actions and on-ground works which enhance conservation values and/or tackle the causes of coast and marine degradation.
