Summary
The International Whale Conservation and Protection Act of 2010 (S. 3116) aims to strengthen the United States' role in global whale conservation by formally opposing commercial whaling and the trade of whale products. The bill directs federal agencies to negotiate international agreements to reduce human-caused threats to marine life, such as ship strikes and underwater noise pollution from commercial vessels. For citizens, this legislation would prioritize the creation of new marine protected areas and increase federal research into how industrial ocean activities impact whale populations and their environments.
