Strategies we employ in meeting our goal:
Assist in building economic viability and capacity of Illinois’ Lake Michigan coastal ports, harbors and marinas
Assist municipalities and regional groups in developing projects and initiatives that benefit coastal communities
Support and promote sustainable coastal tourism and recreation opportunities
Support and promote health and safety in coastal recreation opportunities
Increase coastal recreation engagement to a broader audience, with a focus on economically disadvantaged and under-resourced communities
CMP in Action
Calumet Collaborative
The CMP has been committed to the Calumet area from the early stages of the Millennium Reserve initiative, which began in 2012. The Calumet Collaborative nonprofit grew from this effort, an advisory council of over 30 regional leaders addressing environmental, economic development and community heritage projects to improve the Illinois-Indiana region. Our role has been in helping provide funding, support paid staff, providing technical assistance, and attracting partners.
