Bill overview
The SAFE Pathways Act aims to protect aquatic ecosystems by requiring federal agencies to consider the potential impact of invasive species when designing and constructing fishways. Specifically, it directs the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of the Interior to consult with the relevant state during the fishway planning process to assess and mitigate the risk posed by invasive species. This legislation seeks to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species through these structures, safeguarding native fish populations and overall ecosystem health. It amends the Federal Power Act to incorporate this important consideration.
