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.

Applications for the 2024-25 round of the Community Participation Grants closed on 25 October 2024.
