Eligible uses include research on avoidance technologies, awareness campaigns, on-the-water coexistence approaches, and infrastructure for disseminating management information. The bill also freezes the North Atlantic right whale vessel strike reduction rule at its 2022 version through December 31, 2030, preventing updates or modifications during that period.
