Schumer revealed that because the Inflation Reduction Act passed, a climate change bill in many ways, that there is now $2.6B available that local governments and other entities can tap to conserve, restore and protect marine and coastal habitats. Schumer said he wrote this aspect of the bill with Long Island in mind and that ‘We want to fund the South Shore Estuary conservation effort,’ as he detailed how this will also translate into direct hurricane resilience, which on its own, is very hard to fund before an emergency.</p>"}}
