Full History

Coastal Barrier Resources Act What is CBRA?

The Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) of 1982 established the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS), comprised of undeveloped coastal barriers along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Great Lakes coasts. The law encourages the conservation of hurricane-prone, biologically-rich coastal barriers by restricting federal expenditures that encourage development, such as the National Flood Insurance Program and federal grants.
