“President Biden’s Executive Order 14008 (30 by 30 plan) requires that the federal government, which already owns one-third of the country: (1) remove vast amounts of private property from productive use; and (2) end congressionally mandated uses of all federal land. … Although the new President should vacate that order, DOI under a conservative President must take immediate action on the 30 by 30 plan”

“Withdraw the 30x30 Executive Order and Associated America the Beautiful Initiative. The 30x30 Executive Order and the American the Beautiful Initiative are being used to advance an agenda to close vast areas of the ocean to commercial activities, including fishing, while rapidly advancing offshore wind energy development to the detriment of fisheries and other existing ocean-based industries.”

Research log

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence

Research notes

No Federal Register or whitehouse.gov document among the federal records we keep and search mentions “America the Beautiful” or “30 by 30” after 2025-01-20 (all document types); the initiative existed only under EO 14008 §216 and fell with the order. The Chapter 16 follow-on (“take immediate action on the 30 by 30 plan”) is a direction to Interior, not a separate checkable ask, and is not tracked.
