Coastal communities would get more data, and a key program would continue until 2030.
This bill would make data from the Digital Coast program fully and freely available to the public. It would also extend the program, which helps coastal communities with things like planning and emergency services, until 2030. This means better access to information for researchers, planners, and anyone living near the coast.
Currently, the Digital Coast program's authorization is set to end in 2025, and its data is required to be readily accessible. If this bill becomes law, the program would continue until 2030, and its data would be required to be fully and freely available. The program would also specifically collect data on underground infrastructure, and its trainings would be limited to technical instruction.
