The mission of the Alabama Coastal Management Program (ACAMP), led by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, State Lands Division, Coastal Section, focuses on the balanced promotion of economic growth along with the preservation of Alabama’s coastal resources for future generations. It emphasizes wise management of the state's cultural and natural coastal resources, aiming for the long-term ecological and economic productivity of coastal Alabama.
ACAMP's grant program is designed to support a wide array of projects that aim to protect, enhance, and improve the management of Alabama's natural, cultural, and historical coastal resources. The grants aim to increase the sustainability, resilience, and preparedness of coastal communities and economies, focusing on areas such as coastal cleanups, public access construction projects, planning support for local governments, and providing financial support to Alabama’s coastal communities and partners. The program operates within a clearly defined Alabama Coastal Area, ensuring targeted and effective use of resources and efforts.
