EPA Goal 3: Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development |
SeaGrant (NOAA) Coastal Community Development Program
Purpose
SeaGrant has 3 goals:
• Healthy coastal economies that include working waterfronts, an abundance of recreation
and tourism opportunities, and coastal access for all citizens.
• Coastal communities that make efficient use of land, energy and water resources and
protect the resources needed to sustain coastal ecosystems and quality of life.
• Coastal citizens, community leaders, and industries that recognize the complex
interrelationships between social, economic and environmental values in coastal areas
and work together to balance multiple uses and optimize environmental sustainability.

Integrated Environmental Strategies:
The Integrated Environmental Strategies program (formerly titled Regulatory Innovation) focuses on priority cross-agency management and
policy issues – in particular, those central to creating more sustainable communities and businesses and developing strategies for
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency. These activities, carried out in collaboration with other Agency programs,
support the Agency’s core mission of protecting human health and the environment by providing tools and resources to create stronger,
prosperous, and more economically and environmentally resilient communities and businesses Recognizing a constrained fiscal environment,
EPA is reducing or terminating lower priority voluntary programs to increase and refocus efforts on promoting sustainable development
and a greener economy. EPA considers these efforts to be a higher priority because these efforts have greater promise for yielding
environmental results, and they are directly central to the Administrator's priority for safe, clean communities and sustainable development.
