Bill overview
The SHORE Act aims to improve how the government considers the economic value of recreational activities when planning and funding projects for harbors, waterways, and coastal areas. Specifically, it directs the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to incorporate recreation-based benefits and costs, like local economic impacts, into their cost-benefit analyses. The bill also requires a report to Congress detailing how these considerations are currently handled and suggesting ways to standardize the process for calculating recreation-related economic benefits.
