U.S. Coastal Resilience Initiatives

Resilience Initiatives for Resilient Cities

The Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Cities Initiative administers two U.S. Coastal Resilience Initiatives: the Initiative for Resilient Great Lakes Coasts and the Resilient Coastal Projects Initiative. Both programs provide advanced capacity for engineering and designing restoration projects in coastal communities, with the goal of advancing projects through the implementation pipeline. The map below shows the different projects to date funded through these programs across the Great Lakes region.
