Maine’s seaside communities could benefit from some of nearly $1.5 billion in coastal resiliency grants that are being offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to restore ocean habitats, protect fisheries and prepare for climate change. The agency’s Climate Ready Coasts initiative targets investment to build infrastructure that will help communities cope with sea level rise and extreme weather events, and to protect marine ecosystems that benefit populations that are most vulnerable to climate impacts.
