Continues efforts to protect and restore marine life in Washington's Northwest Straits.
This bill would extend the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative for seven more years. It would update the group that oversees these efforts, called the Northwest Straits Advisory Commission. This group works to protect marine waters, habitats, and species in the Northwest Straits region of Washington State.
Today, the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative Act is in effect, but its authorization is expiring, meaning its work could stop. After this bill, the Act would be reauthorized for seven years, continuing conservation efforts. The Commission's membership would be updated to include more specific representation, and its goals and duties would be clarified, with new requirements for Tribal consultation and annual reporting.
