Grant Overview
Florida's coastal heritage is facing unprecedented threats from rising sea levels and increased storm activity, with 75% of the state's historic coastal sites vulnerable to erosion or flooding within the next two decades. The average annual loss due to coastal erosion in Florida is estimated at $500 million. Who is most affected by this loss? Coastal communities, particularly in the Panhandle region, where historic sites like Fort Pickens and the Pensacola Lighthouse are at risk. These communities often lack the resources to protect their cultural heritage. The funding available for preserving coastal heritage in Florida will prioritize projects that document and protect vital cultural resources along the coast. Applications from organizations with demonstrated experience working in Florida's coastal regions will be given preference. Unlike neighboring states, Florida requires applicants to show a clear understanding of the state's unique coastal geology and hydrology. Florida's 1,350 miles of coastline, much of it in the vulnerable Panhandle region, present both challenges and opportunities for preservation efforts. The state's diverse coastal ecosystems, from mangrove forests to salt marshes, support a wide range of historical sites. Key industries affected by coastal erosion include tourism and fishing, which are vital to Florida's economy. The funding will support projects that address the specific needs of these industries. ## Preserving Florida's Coastal Heritage ## Who Should Apply in Florida? Eligible applicants include non-profits with a history of preserving cultural heritage in Florida, local governments with jurisdiction over coastal areas, and educational institutions with a focus on historical preservation. ## Florida's Coastal Challenges and Opportunities
