Bill overview
This bill, the Marine Mammal Climate Change Protection Act, aims to protect marine mammals from the impacts of climate change. It directs NOAA to create a program to monitor these impacts and to develop climate impact management plans for vulnerable species. The bill also requires NOAA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to identify and list marine mammal species at risk due to climate change, updating this list every five years, and to review agreements with foreign governments to ensure they align with climate protection goals. Finally, it mandates the establishment of a NOAA monitoring program to track climate-related changes in marine mammal populations.
