Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act
22 September 2026 | Presented to President
What's next: President has 10 days (Sundays excepted): sign, veto, or it becomes law unsigned (pocket veto if adjournment prevents return)
Summary: The bill would direct the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to create standardized, publicly available maps and data about where people can fish, boat, and enjoy other recreational activities in federal ocean waters. Within four years, NOAA would need to publish a website showing fishing restrictions, vessel use limitations, protected marine areas, and navigation information for U.S. waters, developed in consultation with state and local governments, tribes, and other stakeholders.
