Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act

Bill 119 s 759, also known as the "Public Waterways Recreation Data Standardization Act," aims to establish a standardized system for collecting, publishing, and making accessible data related to public outdoor recreational use of Federal waterways. The bill seeks to improve transparency and efficiency in managing recreational activities on these waterways.

Under this legislation, federal agencies responsible for overseeing waterways would be required to collect and maintain data on the usage of these areas for recreational purposes. This data would include information on the types of activities taking place, the number of visitors, and any fees or permits required for access.

The bill also mandates that this data be made publicly available in a user-friendly format, such as through an online database or portal. This would allow individuals, organizations, and policymakers to access and analyze information on recreational use of Federal waterways, helping to inform decision-making and resource allocation. Overall, the Public Waterways Recreation Data Standardization Act aims to promote transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making in managing public outdoor recreational use of Federal waterways. By standardizing data collection and making it easily accessible, the bill seeks to enhance the overall experience for individuals enjoying these natural resources.
