RCPI What We Do

The Resilient Coastal Projects Initiative (RCPI) aims to improve coastal resilience at the local level and increase the amount of federal funding coming to Great Lakes communities. We support local communities in planning fundable projects that protect shorelines and community assets. These projects address coastal hazards like flooding and erosion, while adding new community benefits such as public spaces, recreation, habitat, and improved water quality. This initiative is made possible through generous funding support from the Erb Family Foundation, the Fund for Lake Michigan, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
