Withdraw the conservation order setting a 30 percent target
What the document says“Withdraw the 30x Executive Order and Associated America the Beautiful Initiative.”
The chapter says the order and initiative are being used to advance an agenda closing vast areas of ocean to commercial activity including fishing, while rapidly advancing offshore wind development to the detriment of fisheries and other ocean industries. The initiative sets a goal of conserving 30 percent of US lands and waters by 2030.
What the document actually says“Withdraw the 30x Executive Order and Associated America the Beautiful Initiative.”
Cancel this order and the plan that goes with it.
One order sets a goal to protect three tenths of land and sea by 2030. The book says it closes fishing grounds. It wants the order canceled.
Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions
2025-01-20 · 90 FR 8237
EO 14148 of January 20, 2025 revokes EO 14008 of January 27, 2021 (Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad) outright. That is the order that set the goal of conserving at least 30 percent of United States lands and waters by 2030 and directed the report that became the America the Beautiful initiative, so the instrument the chapter asks to be withdrawn is withdrawn. Where the fit breaks down: the revocation is one entry in a list of 78 revoked actions and names neither the 30 percent goal nor the initiative, and it does nothing about designations, grants or agency plans made while the order stood. EO 14313, a candidate here, later sets up a separate conservation commission rather than restoring or replacing the goal.
The book asked that a 2021 climate order be pulled. This order pulls it. That order had set the goal to protect 30 percent of land and water by 2030. The goal is not named here, and it is one of 78 items pulled at once. Land set aside, grants and plans made under it still stand.
