What it does
The bill establishes the Mississippi River Basin Fishery Commission within the Department of the Interior to coordinate basin-wide management of interjurisdictional fishery resources, including the control of invasive carp and other aquatic invasive species, among 31 states, federal agencies, and tribal entities. The Commission will develop management plans, oversee sub-basin fisheries, and create competitive and formula grant programs to support eligible projects. It will operate by consensus, report to Congress periodically, and withdraw member entities may leave by written notice.
