Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance Act of 2022

The Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance Act of 2022 (S. 4432) would establish a new federal grant program to support the rescue, recovery, and medical treatment of stranded sea turtles. This program would provide funding to aquariums, strandings networks, and other organizations that care for these federally protected species, which often face threats from cold-weather events, boat strikes, and marine debris. By providing consistent financial resources for rehabilitation and scientific research, the bill aims to improve survival rates for endangered sea turtles and ensure that local rescue facilities can continue their conservation work.
