Public Information Platform (Health MAP): Creation of a publicly accessible website with marine mammal health and mortality data, facilitating research and public education.
Increased Funding for Rescue Programs: Marine mammal assistance programs will receive more funds, allowing for faster and more effective responses in emergencies.
Reports and Analyses: Regular reports to Congress on marine mammal health status, data gaps, and response capabilities, especially in Arctic regions.
