US federal agencies have finally come together with a coordinated, in-depth website on #SeaLevelRise. One government, one message, one #ClimateCrisis.

Turns out restoration and #coastalresilience is good for the economy. #Shocker

Thanks to #OceanClimateAction champs in Congress like @SenatorCantwell & @RepRaulGrijalva, coastal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act is GETTING 👏 TO 👏WORK 👏.

Check out @NOAA’s $575 million investments in coastal resilience across the US 🎉🌊

The "National Strategy for a Sustainable Ocean Economy" is out now from @POTUS @WHOSTP45 @WHCEQ. Congrats to @BrendaMallory46 @JaneLubchenco46 and many others! https://t.co/PklZLd86oN

NOAA’s budget is too small. That’s costing the US billions of dollars https://t.co/C0fw8tR7L2

[Derek Brockbank @dbrockba]

👏👏for @NOAA’s recommendation of $123 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to support #NERRS & #CZMPrograms to protect the natural infrastructure that is the coasts’ first defense against climate change impacts. Happy #EarthDay!

[Derek Brockbank @dbrockba]

Today, @NOAA announced $123Mil for 30 #coastalrestoration projects by states & NERRS. They will reduce impacts of flooding & erosion, protect wildlife, increase access to the coast, & improve water quality. #climateresilience @noaaocean @rickspinradnoaa

The science is pretty easy to understand: unprecedented #oceantemperatures lead to unprecedented #coralbleaching. Now is NOT the time for @NOAA to be cutting the @NOAACoral program budget by 50%!

One year ago @POTUS announced the #OceanClimateAction Plan. A lot has been accomplished: scaling up #offshorewind, investing in #coastalresilience, fast-tracking #MarineCarbonDioxideRemoval. We need an #alloftheabove strategy; daunting & doable! @BrendaMallory46 @rickspinradnoaa

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Excited to share I just introduced my bipartisan Resilient Coasts and Estuaries Act.

This bill would reauthorize and revitalize the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program, protecting fragile coastal habitats in our district & across the country.

[Derek Brockbank @dbrockba]

The Resilient Coasts and Estuaries Act was introduced on Friday by @MikeLevin and @BrianMastFL. The bill takes an important step in updating the CZMA to better allow for conservation of coastal land, improve estuarine research and provide more public access opportunities.

I'm sure you've all scrupulously read the new @noaaocean 5-year strategic plan. But if not, listen to my podcast with Paul Scholz, Deputy Ass't Administrator of NOS.

Excellent project facilitated by Virginia's Coastal Zone Management program

853 acres of ancestral lands along Virginia’s Mattaponi River belong to their original stewards, the Upper Mattaponi Tribe.

The #SummerofMoney for coastal resilience keeps rolling... @NOAA announces $20 mil for state coastal programs & $12 mil for research reserves from the #InflationReductionAct to support #climateadaptation and #coastalresilience. https://t.co/7E5ykC3aRX
