in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law formally authorizes, by statute, the Coastal Program that the Fish and Wildlife Service was already running as of December 11, 2024. The purpose is to plan and carry out coastal habitat projects — assessment, protection, restoration, and enhancement — in priority coastal areas, to conserve and recover species the federal government holds in trust.

This section states the purpose of this chapter: to legislatively authorize the Coastal Program of the Service, as it existed on December 11, 2024. That program conducts collaborative, landscape-level planning and carries out coastal habitat assessment, protection, restoration, and enhancement projects in priority coastal landscapes. The goal of these projects is to conserve and recover "Federal trust species" — species the federal government has a management responsibility for.
