Key provisions include: - Declaring a policy to prioritize the protection and restoration of shorelines and riverbanks to increase resilience against climate change and other factors affecting coastal and riverine communities. - Expanding an existing program to include shoreline protection and restoration projects, and increasing federal cost-share for certain types of projects. - Reauthorizing periodic nourishment for several existing beach nourishment projects. - Requiring the full federal funding of any increased costs for certain beach nourishment projects that must use non-least-cost borrow sources. - Authorizing the use of federal funds for measures to protect or restore federal land along rivers and coasts, even if the land is under the jurisdiction of another federal agency. - Requiring the consideration of comprehensive flood risk, including from multiple sources, in flood and coastal storm risk management studies. - Reducing the non-federal cost-share for certain nonstructural flood and coastal storm risk management projects. The bill aims to enhance the nation's capacity to protect and restore shorelines and riverbanks, increase community resilience, and leverage federal resources for these purposes.
