Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill renews funding through 2031 for a program called the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative, which works to protect and restore ocean waters, habitats, and wildlife in a part of Washington state near the Canadian border. The area covered includes the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the San Juan Islands, and the northern part of Puget Sound. The bill also sets up rules for a commission that supports local marine committees, makes science-based recommendations for protecting and restoring the region's waters, and holds public discussions about the area's ocean environment.
