New website would make it easier for boaters and anglers to find federal waterway rules.
A new bill would create a public website to make it easier for people to find information about federal waterways. This site would offer standardized data on fishing rules, boating restrictions, and protected areas. It aims to help recreational boaters, divers, and anglers better understand where they can go and what activities are allowed.
Currently, information about federal waterways, like fishing restrictions and recreational boating rules, is not consistently organized or easy for the public to find in one central place. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Commerce would create a new public website within four years. This site would offer standardized, easy-to-access maps and data on fishing rules, boating areas, and marine protected zones, with some information updated in real time. The website would also protect sensitive data by not sharing details about historic sites or private commercial fishing information.
