Coastal Awareness Month
June 2012 is Coastal Awareness Month in the State of Indiana!
The State of Indiana's Lake Michigan Coastal Program, along with local community and non-profit partners, is working to preserve this natural and cultural gem for the children of tomorrow. June is Coastal Awareness Month in Indiana (CAM).
The month gives Hoosiers the chance to learn more about the Lake Michigan Coastal Program and celebrate the area's splendor by increasing their awareness of the region's importance. We encourage participants to get outside and explore the Lake Michigan area of northwest Indiana. Events occur in various area cities throughout the Month.
Lake Michigan is a source of recreation, drinking water, and industry. The 45 miles of shoreline in Indiana is the most diverse in the Great Lakes region. Come see for yourself why...
Note: Participating organizations can use the Lake Michigan CAM logo and promotional materials in highlighting their event - the event will be placed on the CAM website. Promotional materials will be distributed to event sponsors after event registration.
Funding Support:
This year the Lake Michigan Coastal Program set aside $10,000 for Small Grants to support CAM events. These small grants can be used for event support, outreach materials, and other appropriate items. Please reference the Grants Page for more details. Application deadline is February 6, 2012.
