During a visit to Gulfport, MS today, Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Administrator Janet McCabe announced a $53 million investment in the Gulf of Mexico that will provide over $10 million annually through 2026 to support wetland restoration, stormwater treatment and control, nature-based infrastructure, resilient shorelines, and other initiatives “critical to creating a healthy and vibrant Gulf of Mexico.”
McCabe said that the funding provided through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law “will bring critical health protections, progress on shoreline and wetland restoration, jobs, and economic opportunities to communities who have been overburdened by pollution for far too long,” calling it “exactly what building a better America looks like.”
