Existing law establishes the State Coastal Conservancy, and prescribes the membership and functions and duties of the conservancy with regard to the protection, preservation, and enhancement of specified coastal lands in the state. Existing law authorizes the conservancy to award various grants in furtherance of its duties, including, but not limited to, grants to public agencies and nonprofit organizations for activities to address the impacts of climate change and grants to nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and public agencies for the purpose of educational projects and programs for pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, relating to the preservation, protection, enhancement, and maintenance of coastal resources.
This bill would authorize the conservancy to award mitigation funds not otherwise restricted to fund grants for nonprofit organizations that offer scientific, educational, cultural, or heritage programs that focus on the history and stewardship of the ocean and coastal resources.
