Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Reauthorization Act of 2025

This provision amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to extend the authorization for Long Island Sound Grants. These grants are crucial for funding programs dedicated to the protection and restoration of the Long Island Sound ecosystem. The reauthorization ensures that these programs can continue to receive federal support for fiscal years 2025 through 2029, maintaining efforts to improve water quality and ecological health in the region.

This section amends the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act of 2006 to reauthorize the Long Island Sound Stewardship Grants. These grants support projects that protect and enhance the ecological integrity and public access to significant natural resources within the Long Island Sound watershed, often involving land acquisition and habitat restoration. The reauthorization extends the program's funding eligibility for fiscal years 2025 through 2029, ensuring ongoing support for these conservation efforts.

This provision makes a minor technical correction to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. It specifically redesignates paragraph (4) as paragraph (3) within section 119(g) of the Act. This is a clerical change designed to correct a numbering error in the existing statute and does not alter the substance or intent of the law.
