Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill establishes a competitive grant program administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to fund projects that reduce harmful interactions between ocean users and North Atlantic right whales and other large cetacean species. The bill freezes existing vessel strike reduction regulations at their 2022 levels through December 31, 2030, and authorizes $10 million in grants for research, technology development, awareness efforts, and infrastructure to support coexistence between maritime industries and whale populations. Grant priority is given to projects with high likelihood of reducing lethal and sub-lethal interactions, demonstrating cooperation among ocean users, and providing economic benefits to small maritime businesses.
