Albatross and Petrel Conservation Act of 2025

The Albatross and Petrel Conservation Act of 2025 establishes conservation measures for albatrosses and petrels in U.S. waters and lands. It requires the Secretaries of Interior and Commerce to protect habitats, manage invasive species threatening these birds, and implement fishing regulations to minimize bycatch in commercial fisheries. The bill creates mechanisms for international cooperation with other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels. It also establishes procedures for permits and exemptions for certain activities like scientific research while maintaining favorable conservation status for these birds.
