By Katrina Radach, Washington Sea Grant State Fellow at The Nature Conservancy.
Between May 27th to May 31st in Lisbon, Portugal, 1,200 people around the world came together to discuss climate change adaptations. One major discussion throughout this conference was how communities adapt to climate change in regards to coastal hazards. In Lisbon, where the sun-kissed beaches and tourism are major economic industries for its communities, they are facing challenges of coastal erosion, extreme storms, and sea level rise. Sounds familiar right? ​

Are Washington capital grant programs explicitly addressing climate change and sea level rise issues?

We reviewed the list of grant programs funded under the 2017-2019 State Capital Budget and 2018 Supplemental Budget. Programs were selected based on the language used within their description and mission statement. This effort resulted in a baseline inventory of 60 capital grant programs potentially funding projects in areas vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). However, this list may not be exhaustive.

We then assessed if the programs funding guidelines did mention or not terms such as sea level rise and climate change. Of the 60 programs, we found four which included climate and sea level rise language within their funding guidelines:
  • Floodplain by Design (Department of Ecology).
  • Puget Sound Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program (ESRP) (Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Recreation & Conservation Office).
  • Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration (PSAR) Fund (Puget Sound Partnership and the Recreation and Conservation Office).
  • Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) (Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Recreation & Conservation Office).
