Bill overview
This bill amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 to strengthen efforts to protect and restore habitats for anadromous fish, which are fish that migrate between freshwater and saltwater environments. It directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize projects that include specific measures like installing fish bypass structures, modifying tide gates, and restoring floodplains and wetlands. The goal is to improve the ability of these fish to successfully navigate and reproduce. The bill ensures these projects receive equal consideration alongside other aquatic ecosystem restoration initiatives.
