"Seven projects based around our coast at Coleraine, Bushmills, Ballycastle, Rathlin Island, Carrickfergus and Newcastle have received grants ranging from £71,000 to £734,000.
"These projects are excellent examples of how people can work together to regenerate and support the economic development of their communities."
