Michigan Coastal Management Program Grant

The Michigan Coastal Management Program (MCMP) provides grant funding to help coastal communities protect and enhance Michigan's Great Lakes shoreline. The program supports projects that strengthen coastal economies, restore sensitive ecosystems, and make shoreline communities more resilient to changing conditions and coastal hazards.

Eligible projects include those that protect and restore coastal ecosystems, revitalize working waterfronts, support local planning to reduce risks from coastal hazards, implement nature-based solutions to manage stormwater, and enhance public access to coastal areas. The MCMP prioritizes projects that promote coastal resilience planning, engage communities in outreach and education, support technical training workshops, evaluate regional coastal challenges, and install site-specific, nature-based solutions.

Interested applicants can submit a Project Interest Form to connect with a Focus Area Coordinator. Applications and grant management are handled through the MiGrants system.
