Summary
The Whale CHARTS Act amends the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 to establish a comprehensive mapping, surveying, monitoring, and mitigation program for migratory whales and other large cetaceans in U.S. waters. The bill requires the Under Secretary of Commerce to produce high-accuracy distribution maps of migratory whales, conduct surveys of understudied whale species, and develop detection technologies through a competitive grant program. It also maintains a near real-time monitoring and mitigation subprogram focused on reducing vessel collision risks to threatened or endangered cetaceans.
