“13. The Administration should strengthen and Congress should codify, where appropriate, the federal ocean science governance regime to more closely align ocean and coastal science priorities with the needs of policy makers and managers.

“Congress should strengthen and reauthorize the Coastal Zone Management Act to enhance coastal management and to serve as a key mechanism to enable coastal communities to prepare for and adapt to climate change impacts.”

“Reauthorize” … something already in place and ignored.

Nothing here is specific nor what happens if we do or don’t follow the vague ‘recommendations.’
