Marine Mammal Climate Change Protection Act: New Conservation Management Plans
This Act mandates the government to establish management plans to protect vulnerable marine mammals from the adverse effects of climate change. Citizens gain the ability to participate in this process through public consultations on the list of endangered species and conservation strategies. The implementation of these plans means federal agencies must align their actions to support conservation goals, potentially impacting regulations related to fisheries and other maritime activities.
Key points
The government must create a list of marine mammals threatened by climate change within 24 months.
A detailed Climate Impact Management Plan (CIMP) will be developed for each listed species to enhance resilience and reduce human impacts.
All federal agencies must ensure their actions are consistent with marine mammal protection plans.
A monitoring program will be established to track climate change impacts on marine mammals, including their interactions with fisheries.
Total funding of $6 million annually (2024-2028) is authorized for NOAA, the Department of the Interior, and the Marine Mammal Commission.
