Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act

The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) is a U.S. federal program that funds efforts to conserve, restore, and protect coastal wetlands. These wetlands are vital ecosystems that support wildlife, help control flooding, and improve water quality. CWPPRA provides money for projects such as rebuilding wetlands, restoring natural waterways, and improving habitat health. By investing in these efforts, the program aims to preserve and enhance coastal environments vulnerable to natural and human-made changes, ensuring they continue to benefit ecosystems, communities, and economies.
