To amend the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to allow the Secretary of Commerce to establish a Coastal and Estuarine Resilience and Restoration Program, and for other purposes.

HR 6841 creates a new Coastal and Estuarine Resilience and Restoration Program under the Coastal Zone Management Act, authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to protect and restore coastal and estuarine areas. The program prioritizes lands with ecological, recreational, or community value that face development threats or climate impacts, with special focus on low-income communities and climate mitigation. It requires non-governmental organizations applying for grants to demonstrate public access or ecological protection, and includes $47 million annually (2024-2028) for these efforts. This directly affects coastal states, local communities, and conservation groups managing vulnerable coastal lands.
