What it does
The Sturgeon Conservation and Sustainability Act would amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to exempt certain captive or controlled-environment sturgeon and their progeny from specific prohibitions under the Act, as long as they are not intentionally returned to the wild. It applies to sturgeon legally held in captivity or controlled environments as of the bill’s enactment and their offspring, allowing activities like farming or display that would otherwise be restricted. Holders must demonstrate eligibility and maintain records as required by the Secretary, without duplicating existing regulatory requirements.
