Invest in Adaptation and Resiliency

The federal government must provide state and local planners with the resources and information they need to develop and improve their extreme weather resiliency efforts.

H.R. 205 (116th) – Protecting and Securing Florida’s Coastline Act of 2019

Natural Resources
Co-Sponsors: 18 – 9 Democrats, 9 Republicans

The 2006 Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act prohibited offshore leasing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico (off the coast of Florida) through June 2022 because drilling on Florida’s coast affected its tourism and fishing industries. This bill makes this moratorium on offshore leasing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico permanent.

Environment and Public Works
Co-Sponsors: 11 – 10 Democrats, 1 Republican

This bill aims to begin reversing the tide of habitat loss and fragmentation for America’s fish, wildlife, and plant species – a major factor in species decline and extinction. The legislation would give authority to key federal agencies to designate National Wildlife Corridors on federal lands in order to create a comprehensive corridor network that would boost biodiversity, protect ecosystems, and help safeguard America’s most iconic species from a mass extinction crisis.
