Save Our Seas 2.0 Marine Debris Infrastructure Programs Reauthorization Act
This bill reauthorizes existing EPA programs focused on marine debris cleanup infrastructure, extending their funding period from 2025 to 2030. It directly affects the EPA's grant programs that provide funding to states, tribes, and local governments for projects removing marine debris from coastlines and waterways. The key change is a simple deadline extension for these established programs, ensuring continued support for coastal cleanup efforts through 2030. The bill does not create new programs or alter funding amounts, only prolonging the current authorization period.
