A resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, commonly known as the "Coastal Zone Management Act".

This Senate resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Coastal Zone Management Act, which established a cooperative framework for coastal states and territories to manage their shorelines. It recognizes the Act's role in enabling states to balance development, conservation, and public access through state-led programs and 30 National Estuarine Research Reserves. The resolution also notes the need for modernization to improve equity, Tribal partnerships, and coastal resilience, though it does not create new laws or funding.
