Publication Summary

This publication summarizes the past nine years of activities undertaken by local governments with federal Coastal Zone Management funds. Ecology hopes it will serve as a reference for future grant applicants and also provide the general public a "snapshot" view of a program that has made a positive impact on local waterfront communities throughout Washington's Coastal Zone.

The CZM grant program has been helping local governments address their shoreline needs since 1976. The actual list of all funded activities is much longer and more diverse than what could be listed in this booklet.

This document features project highlights for each county. Projects were selected for being diverse and unique, not necessarily because they had the highest level of funding and effort. As a reference, a list of all funded CZM grants are included for each county. Dollar figures reflect the amount awarded, not necessarily the amount actually spent. The year of the grant reflects the end date (i.e., a grant for year 2001-2002, would be listed as 2002).
