Challenges to Coastal Restoration? Finding applicants who have the technical capacity to develop and manage projects Scarcity of non-federal funds to match federal grant opportunities Lack of coordinated coastal land use policies for regional wetlands management

Recommendations for Improving Coastal Wetlands Restoration Efforts Focus funding, training and technical assistance on capacity building at the local level Encourage local / state government and private sector to dedicate funding for restoration projects Evaluate regional coastal land use impacts on wetlands and consider actions
