This bill reauthorizes the Regional Ocean Partnerships program, which coordinates ocean management efforts across U.S. coastal regions. The legislation extends funding through fiscal year 2031, with annual appropriations ranging from approximately $10.6 million to $10.9 million per year. The bill makes technical corrections to the existing program structure and adds a new restriction preventing regional partnerships from using federal funds to develop regulatory proposals, model regulations, or compliance programs. The changes apply to Regional Coastal Partnerships and Regional Great Lakes Partnerships that work on ocean conservation and management issues. The bill was introduced in October 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
