To amend the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 to provide for a mapping, surveying, monitoring, and mitigation program for migratory whales and other large cetaceans.

H.R. 7332 would amend the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 to create a new program focused on migratory whales and other large cetaceans. The program would involve mapping, surveying, monitoring, and mitigation activities related to these marine mammals.

If enacted, this legislation would establish federal efforts to track and study whale populations and their migration patterns, while implementing measures to mitigate potential threats to these animals. The practical impact would be increased scientific monitoring of whale populations and coordinated efforts to protect them from various hazards. However, this bill is currently in its early stages and has not yet advanced to committee, meaning most introduced bills do not become law.
