Dossier Legislative introduced 22-oct-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Coastal Ocean Research for Management Act of 2026

Key claim: A House bill to support coastal ocean research used for management decisions has been introduced and referred to the Natural Resources Committee.

Abstract

(HR10888 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-10-22): Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Why this matters

Coastal ocean research informs state and federal coastal management decisions, from fisheries to shoreline resilience, so authorizing legislation shapes which agencies fund this work and under what mandate. As an introduced bill still at committee referral, its practical effect on researchers and NOAA-adjacent programs is contingent on markup and whether it advances alongside related ocean observing authorities.
