Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Expansion Act

This bill authorizes the federal government to expand the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge by acquiring Garrett Island in Cecil County, Maryland, and establishes the new Accokeek Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Virginia. Under this legislation, the Secretary of the Interior is tasked with restoring local habitats to support migratory birds and protecting significant archaeological sites on the land. For citizens, the bill aims to preserve the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay region while providing new opportunities for public outdoor access that do not harm the environment.
