Law

This bill continues a national program that tracks ocean conditions, weather, and coastal changes. It provides $56 million every year from 2026 to 2030 to keep these monitoring systems running.
The policy requires federal agencies to share their data more effectively with local coastal groups. This ensures that important information about the ocean reaches the communities that rely on it for safety and business.
By improving how we measure the ocean, the government aims to provide better weather forecasts and more accurate data on sea levels. This helps fishermen, shipping companies, and people living in coastal towns prepare for storms and changing conditions.
