Federal agencies would get more power and funding to fight harmful algal blooms and water pollution.
This bill would expand federal efforts to research, monitor, and respond to harmful algal blooms and low-oxygen areas in our waters. It would give more resources to NOAA and the EPA, and create new programs to find solutions and help communities affected by these events. This means better protection for public health, fisheries, and local economies.
Today, federal efforts to address harmful algal blooms and low-oxygen areas are more limited in scope and coordination. After this bill, there would be a more comprehensive national strategy, expanded research across all water systems, and new programs specifically for freshwater issues and developing new solutions. Communities would also have better access to real-time data and support.
