Coastal and Estuarine Protection and Restoration: New Programs and Reserves

This act aims to protect and restore important coastal and estuarine areas that are threatened or degraded. Through this program, local communities, including low-income ones, will gain better protection against natural hazards and access to recreational areas. It also introduces new funding rules and cooperation with non-governmental organizations, which may increase the effectiveness of environmental actions.
Key points
Support for the protection and restoration of coastal and estuarine areas, potentially reducing flood and erosion risks.
Prioritization of low-income communities in accessing coastal protection programs.
Enabling non-governmental organizations to participate in protection programs, provided public access to protected areas is ensured.
Establishment of at least five new National Estuarine Research Reserves, strengthening climate change research and ecosystem protection.
