Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries Boundary Modification and Protection Act

Bill 110 hr 1187, also known as the Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries Boundary Modification and Protection Act, aims to modify the boundaries of the Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries off the coast of California. The bill seeks to expand the boundaries of these marine sanctuaries to provide additional protection for the diverse marine ecosystems and wildlife that inhabit these areas.

The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary is currently located off the coast of San Francisco and protects a rich and diverse marine environment, including important breeding grounds for marine mammals and seabirds. The Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary is located further north and protects a unique underwater bank that supports a wide variety of marine life.

The proposed boundary modifications in this bill would expand the protected areas of both sanctuaries to include additional important habitats and species. This expansion would help to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of these marine ecosystems, as well as provide additional opportunities for research, education, and recreation. Overall, Bill 110 hr 1187 seeks to enhance the protection and conservation of the Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries by expanding their boundaries and ensuring the continued preservation of these valuable marine resources.
