In Support of S. 360, the "Coastal Zone Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2005"
NRDC strongly supports passage of S. 360, a bill that would reauthorize and strengthen the three-decade-old Coastal Zone Management Act at a time of increasing pressure on our nation’s coastal resources. The CZMA provides a valuable framework for addressing both ongoing and emerging issues facing the coastal regions of our country. The federal government provides funding, oversight and the promise of federal consistency to the states; in exchange, the states voluntarily develop and implement federally approved programs that address important issues facing the coastal zone -- an area of national importance, both ecologically and economically. We believe continuation of this partnership is important to the nation and that the CZMA should be reauthorized.
