Tribal Coastal Resiliency Act

This bill authorizes the Department of Commerce to award competitive grants to Indian tribes to further achievement of tribal coastal zone objectives.

Specifically, these tribal coastal zone objectives include

• protecting, restoring, or preserving areas in the zone that hold important ecological, cultural, or sacred significance for the tribes or traditional, historic, and aesthetic values essential to the tribes;
• preparing and implementing a special area management plan and technical planning for important coastal areas; and
• implementing any coastal or shoreline stabilization measure for the purpose of public safety, public access, or cultural or historical preservation.
