This bill amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to create an exception for northern sea otters in specific Alaskan regions. It allows for the transport, purchase, and sale of pelts from northern sea otters taken for subsistence purposes in Southcentral and Southeast Alaska. The bill also permits the transport, purchase, sale, and export of handicrafts, garments, and art made from these pelts. This applies whether the products are traditional or contemporary, and regardless of how much they have been altered.
