The Chesapeake Bay Trust is soliciting proposals through the Living Shorelines Grant Program to create and promote living shorelines in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., portions of the Chesapeake Bay.

This grant initiative is designed to reverse the trend of shoreline hardening by encouraging the creation of living shoreline restoration projects and by enhancing public awareness about the benefits of living shorelines. “Living shorelines” are defined as shoreline stabilization techniques that use natural habitat elements to protect shorelines from erosion while also providing critical habitat for bay wildlife.

The program invites proposals from nonprofit organizations, community associations, academic institutions, and state and local governments.
