Plain-English Summary

The bill would establish a dedicated fund to finance projects that protect and restore coastal areas, such as building barriers against flooding, restoring wetlands, and managing erosion. The money would support infrastructure improvements in coastal communities affected by water-related damage and environmental degradation. This would primarily benefit coastal residents, local governments, and communities vulnerable to storms and rising water levels.
