The bill would prohibit amendments, updates, modifications, or expansion of the current NOAA North Atlantic Right Whale vessel strike reduction rule until at least December 31, 2030. It would also establish a grant program to develop, assess, and carry out activities to reduce whale strikes, such as deploying avoidance technologies, raising awareness of existing NARW management measures, and developing on-water approaches to support water-user co-existence.
