Funding Overview

The Budget Act of 2024 (Assembly Bill 107, Chapter 22, Statutes of 2024) included $27.5 million to the California Ocean Protection Council for grants or expenditures to advance resilience projects that conserve, protect, and restore marine wildlife and healthy ocean and coastal ecosystems.

This appropriation is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
