Save Our Seas 2.0 Amendments Act
The Save Our Seas 2.0 Amendments Act reorganizes the Marine Debris Act to improve administrative operations of NOAA's marine debris programs. It modifies grant and agreement provisions to include more partnership types, changes the Marine Debris Foundation's structure from an "organization" to a "corporation," and adds requirements for outreach to Indian Tribes. The bill also updates funding authorizations through 2025 and clarifies definitions for terms like "Indian Tribe" and "coastal shoreline community." These changes focus on streamlining program administration rather than altering substantive marine debris policies.
