; (D) improving water quality (such as by reducing excess nutrients, sedimentation, or contaminants); (E) planting of native plants, removal of invasive species, and other improved management practices; (F) controlling erosion of wetland edges; and (G) enabling future inland migration as sea levels rise, including through the enhancement of adjacent fresh-water wetlands. 1302. Coastal and Estuary Resilience Grant Program (a) Establishment The Administrator shall establish a program, to be known as the Coastal and Estuary Resilience Grant Program , under which the Secretary awards grants to entities that are eligible under subsection (b) to fund coastal wetland restoration and natural infrastructure projects that are eligible under subsection (c). (b) Eligible entities An entity is eligible to apply for a grant under the Program if the entity is an institution of higher education, a nonprofit organization, a State or local government, or an Indian Tribe. (c) Eligible projects A project is eligible for a grant under the Program if the project is designed to— (1) reduce net greenhouse gases through— (A) the long-term sequestration of additional carbon dioxide through— (i) the active restoration of degraded coastal wetland; and (ii) the protection of threatened coastal wetland; (B) the halting of ongoing carbon dioxide emissions, and the resumption of the natural rate of carbon capture, through the restoration of drained coastal wetland; or (C) the halting of ongoing methane emissions, and the resumption of the natural rate of carbon storage, through the restoration of formerly tidal wetland that has lost tidal connectivity and become fresh wetland (commonly known as impounded wetland ); or (2) provide for ecosystem adaptation to the effects of sea level rise and other climate effects through— (A) facilitating landward migration of wetlands in response to rising sea levels
