Reserves 15 percent of program funds for acquisitions benefitting the National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Allows the Secretary to enter into contracts or other arrangements with other federal agencies (including interagency financing of Coastal America activities) as well as any other qualified person for the purposes of carrying out technical assistance and research to support coastal zone management.
