Lone Star Coastal National Recreation Area Act

This bill establishes the Lone Star Coastal National Recreation Area as a unit of the National Park System to protect the natural, cultural, and recreational resources along the Texas Gulf Coast. The area would be created only after the Secretary of the Interior acquires sufficient land through voluntary means such as donations, purchases from willing sellers, or exchanges, with no use of condemnation. A new partnership involving federal, state, local, and private stakeholders will develop a management plan that coordinates activities across both federally owned lands and participating private or state lands. The legislation ensures that private landowners retain their rights and that existing economic activities like hunting, fishing, and oil and gas operations continue without new regulations, while allowing the National Park Service to provide technical assistance and interpretive services.
