Summary: The law directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to create standardized, publicly accessible maps and data about where people can fish, boat, and enjoy other recreational activities in federal ocean waters. Within four years, NOAA must publish a website showing fishing restrictions, areas off-limits to certain boats, and protected marine areas, while coordinating with state and local governments, tribes, and other federal agencies to ensure the information is consistent and easy to find.
