This act establishes a grant program to protect and restore coastlines, marine habitats, and support the fishing economy.

Citizens may benefit from a healthier environment, safer coastlines, and potential local economic revitalization.
Key points

Funding targets protection of threatened species, coral reefs, blue carbon ecosystems (e.g., wetlands), and beaches/dunes for flood protection.
Priority is given to projects stimulating the economy, starting quickly, employing fishermen, or supporting low-income and indigenous communities.
One billion dollars annually is authorized from 2023 to 2032 for the program, ensuring long-term support for coastlines and fisheries.
