December 7, 2022 — Three Massachusetts organizations will receive more than $4 million for projects to restore salt marshes and increase coastal resilience. The grants, from the public-private National Coastal Resilience Fund, were announced Tuesday as part of more than $136 million for 88 projects nationwide, including 12 in New England.
Established in 2018, the Fund invests in conservation projects that restore or expand natural features — such as marshes, wetlands, and oyster reefs — which minimize the impacts of storms and flooding. This is the second round of grants awarded in 2022.
