The bill would establish the Lake Champlain Basin Program to "formally administer the program to promote climate resilience and mitigation through ecosystem restoration," according to a press release.
Coastal California is heavily influenced by east–west distances to the dominant cold California Current as well as microclimates.Due to hills and coast ranges having strong meteorological effects, summer and winter temperatures (other than occasional heat waves) are heavily moderated by ocean currents and fog with strong seasonal lags compared to interior valleys as little as 10 mi (16 km) away.
The Southern California coastal subregion, sometimes called the South Coast Hydrologic Subregion, is a second-level subdivision [1] covering is approximately 11,000 sq mi (28,000 km 2; 7,000,000-acre) and extends from Rincon Creek on the north to the international border with Mexico on the south.

Smaller border lakes such as Lake Champlain or Lake of the Woods are not counted. All of the five major U.S. territories have coastlines — three of them have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and two of them have a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean Sea). The U.S. Minor Outlying Islands also have coastlines.
The mass of ice from the continental ice sheets had depressed the rock beneath it over millennia. At the end of the last glacial period, while the rock was still depressed, the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa River valleys, as well as modern Lake Champlain, at that time Lake Vermont, were below sea level and flooded with rising worldwide sea levels, once the ice no longer prevented the ocean from ...
