What This Bill Does

This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands the John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue and Response Grant Program to include separate grants to rescue sea turtles. The grants must be used for

  • responses to rescue stranded sea turtles;
  • the collection of data and samples from living or dead stranded sea turtles for scientific research or health assessments;
  • facility operating costs that are directly related to activities to assist sea turtles; or
  • development of stranding network capacity where facilities do not exist or are sparse.

In addition, the bill establishes the Sea Turtle Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Rapid Response Fund.
