Study Authorized for Potential Monterey Bay National Heritage Area Designation.
This act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study assessing whether four specific counties in California (Monterey, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, and San Luis Obispo) are suitable for designation as the Monterey Bay National Heritage Area. While the bill only mandates research, a successful designation could lead to federal support for local conservation, cultural preservation, and tourism development in the future. The study requires consultation with local governments and tribal entities.
