The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is providing ongoing funding through the National Coastal Zone Management Program to the state of Virginia to help administer the state's federally approved coastal management program. The National Coastal Zone Management Program, under the Coastal Zone Management Act, is an important voluntary federal-state partnership that protects, restores, and responsibly develops our nation's coastal communities and resources by balancing economic development, coastal uses, and natural resource protection.

NOAA's investment of over $3M is leveraging $2.5M in state and local funds. These funds will support jobs and provide continued assistance to the Virginia Coastal Management Program to address many important coastal issues in the state including coastal hazards and resilience, habitat restoration and protection, land acquisition, ocean planning, and stewardship programs and activities.

The funding also supports ongoing coastal coordination and collaboration efforts among federal, state, and local partners to ensure effective management and protection of Virginia's coastal resources.
