Puerto Rico BEACHES Act

A federal study of coastal erosion's effects on Puerto Rico's beaches and economy. This bill would direct the Comptroller General to study how loss of beaches, dunes, and wetlands affects tourism, fisheries, and coastal businesses across Puerto Rico and to submit a report to Congress. The study must be done in coordination with the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development, and the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The report must include recommendations to reduce environmental harms and to address challenges faced by affected industries. The bill also defines the geographic scope of "coastal area" for the study.
