Northeast Lobsterman Protection Act of 2026

This bill aims to prolong the duration of existing regulations designed to protect the North Atlantic right whale. It achieves this by amending a specific section within the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. Specifically, the legislation changes the expiration year for these critical regulations from 2028 to 2035 , thereby extending their effectiveness by seven years. This extension is intended to provide continued legal protection and management measures for the endangered whale species.
