They support a wealth of biodiversity, which is part of our national
heritage and character.
------------------------------
[image: A large whale's tail fluke sticking out of the blue ocean water.]
Fifty years ago, Congress took action to protect the nation’s ocean and
coasts, when it passed a set of powerful laws that help form the foundation
for the nation’s coastal and marine stewardship today:
- Clean Water Act
- Coastal Zone Management Act
- Marine Mammal Protection Act
- National Marine Sanctuaries Act.
------------------------------
These historic laws make a tremendous difference in the lives of Americans.
The clean water we enjoy today, the wildlife that have recovered from the
brink of extinction, the public access to beaches and coastal waters, the
protected areas that keep special ecosystems healthy for recreational and
sustainable economic opportunities, the habitats that have been conserved
and restored to maintain biodiversity and curb the impacts of climate
change: these are only some of the benefits that we owe to these historic
laws.

But even greater challenges lie ahead as we face the challenges of climate
change and its impacts on the ocean, coasts, and wildlife. In an
increasingly dynamic natural and human environment, our communities need
our combined work now more than ever to ensure that our ocean and coasts
are healthy, resilient, and adaptable.
