The American Coastal Coalition joins the growing chorus of coastal stakeholders opposing the Trump Administration’s proposed budget cuts to NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, which threaten to dismantle critical research and services vital to America’s coastal communities.

The American Coastal Coalition is proud to welcome Representative Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02) to our network of coastal champions. Rep. Van Drew has played a critical role in advocating for South Jerseys beaches, waterways, and coastal communities since his first day in office.

The American Coastal Coalition (ACC), representing America’s coastal communities, businesses, and stakeholders, opposes the bill (HR 1874) introduced by Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) that threatens to strip states of their authority under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) to review and approve or disapprove of federal projects from occurring in state waters.
