      By Mr. CARPER (for himself and Mr. Graham):
  S. 5185. A bill to amend the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to make 
improvements to that Act, and for other purposes; to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works.
  Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, today I am pleased to introduce along with 
the Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Graham, the Strengthening Coastal 
Communities Act of 2022.
  The Strengthening Coastal Communities Act of 2022 amends the Coastal 
Barrier Resources Act and codifies maps to update and add units to the 
Coastal Barrier Resources System. Congress first passed the bipartisan 
Coastal Barrier Resources Act in 1982, due in no small part to the hard 
work of former Congressman Tom Evans from Delaware. Today, the Coastal 
Barrier Resources System consists of 588 system units, which are areas 
of low and undeveloped coastal land along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, 
Great Lakes, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico coasts. There are 
also 282 otherwise protected areas in the system, which are used 
primarily for conservation and recreation purposes. Together, this is 
3.5 million acres of land and associated aquatic habitat. These units 
and areas are important not only because they protect habitat vital to 
our Nation's wildlife but because conserving sensitive coastal habitats 
also protects our coastal communities--our homes, businesses, and 
infrastructure--from flooding.
  The Strengthening Coastal Communities Act represents a proactive step 
toward more resilient coastlines across our Nation. We need to 
prioritize the protection of our coastlines ahead of the next storm 
instead of in response to it. Doing so will make our coastal 
communities better able to withstand extreme weather events in the face 
of a changing climate.
  The legislation I am introducing today would codify 195 updated or 
new maps that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has transmitted to 
Congress for the Coastal Barrier Resources System. This bill also 
includes some minor amendments to the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to 
improve Agency implementation of the Act. In addition, the bill 
authorizes $5 million in appropriations annually for the Coastal 
Barrier Resources Act for fiscal years 2023 through 2027. This increase 
from the last appropriation authorization of $2 million is well-
justified by the long-term coastal resilience value generated by the 
program. This program also saves taxpayer dollars by restricting the 
use of Federal funding in the sensitive areas that comprise the Coast a 
Barrier Resources System. This reauthorization has clear benefits for 
our environment and economy--a win-win for Delaware and our Nation.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues to enact this important 
legislation this Congress. I ask unanimous consent that a copy of the 
bill I am introducing today be printed in the Record following my 
statement.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:
