This bill reauthorizes through FY2026 and revises the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program.
For example, the bill modifies the name of the program to the Coastal Estuarine Resilience and Restoration Program. It also revises goals of the program to include (1) climate change mitigation; and (2) restoring developed property in vulnerable coastal and estuarine areas to a natural state to restore ecological function, allow for shoreline migration, and protect coastal communities.
Additionally, the bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to designate at least five new national estuarine reserves.
