Fog Observations and Geographic Forecasting Act

HR 3705 requires the NOAA Under Secretary to improve coastal marine fog forecasts. It directs the collection of more fog observations using buoys, weather stations, vessels, drones, and satellite data, aiming to enhance forecast accuracy and safety for vessels navigating fog-prone coastal waters. The bill mandates better communication of fog advisories and decision support tools for mariners and coastal communities. It also requires stakeholder and tribal engagement in developing the project plan, which must be finalized within one year of the bill's enactment.
