This resolution approves the annual state integrated coastal protection plan for Fiscal Year 2026, as adopted by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) Board. The resolution highlights the board's statutory responsibility to develop and coordinate an integrated coastal protection plan for Louisiana, which encompasses projects aimed at protecting, conserving, enhancing, and restoring the state's coastal areas. The plan includes various initiatives such as coastal protection and restoration projects, hurricane protection efforts, and associated measures like land acquisition, environmental compliance, and innovative programs. Prior to finalizing the plan, the board is required to conduct public hearings in western, central, and eastern coastal areas, solicit comments from local authorities and legislators, and submit the plan to specific legislative committees. The plan becomes effective upon legislative approval or by default if not disapproved by July 1, 2025. The resolution specifically approves the Fiscal Year 2026 plan and directs that a copy be transmitted to the CPRA Board chairman.
