Estuary Restoration Act

The Estuary Restoration Act is a federal initiative aimed at restoring and protecting estuaries—coastal areas where rivers meet the ocean, supporting diverse ecosystems. Through funding and coordinated efforts, it helps improve water quality, restore habitats, and promote sustainable development. The Act encourages collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and stakeholders to enhance the health of these vital environments, which benefit wildlife, fisheries, and human communities alike. Overall, it seeks to ensure estuaries remain productive, resilient, and capable of providing ecological, economic, and recreational benefits for future generations.
