The program also allows funding for workforce development and job creation; improvements to or on state parks in coastal areas affected by the spill; and infrastructure projects that benefit the economy or ecological resources, including port infrastructure. In addition, eligible activities include coastal flood protection and related infrastructure, planning assistance, and certain administrative costs, as well as promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast (including recreational fishing) and promotion of consumption of Gulf Coast seafood. As stated in the notice, most activities must occur in the Gulf Coast region, with limited exceptions noted for planning assistance and seafood consumption promotion.
