Eligibility for Rhode Island's Coastal Erosion Mitigation Projects

According to the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council, the state's coastal ecosystems are critical to its economy and environment, with many communities relying on tourism and fishing industries. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and community groups operating in Rhode Island's coastal areas.
Application Requirements for Rhode Island's Coastal Erosion Initiatives
Applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of Rhode Island's coastal erosion challenges and the associated environmental risks. Proposals should outline a comprehensive approach to mitigating coastal erosion, including strategies for community-led restoration activities and ecosystem-based adaptation. Successful applicants will be required to track and report on key performance indicators, including shoreline stability and coastal ecosystem health.
Who Should Apply in Rhode Island's Coastal Erosion Initiatives?
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and community groups operating in Rhode Island's coastal areas, particularly those with experience in coastal restoration and conservation. The Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council has identified 5 high-need coastal municipalities, where residents face significant erosion and flooding risks. Organizations serving these areas will be given priority consideration.
Rhode Island's Coastal Erosion Outcomes
The primary goal of this funding opportunity is to mitigate coastal erosion in Rhode Island. By supporting community-led restoration activities, the project aims to improve shoreline stability by 15% and enhance coastal ecosystem health.

What Makes Rhode Island Different? Unlike neighboring states like Massachusetts and Connecticut, Rhode Island's coastal erosion challenges are characterized by a unique mix of urban and natural areas, requiring a nuanced approach to addressing erosion and flooding risks.
