What it does
The Oyster Reef Recovery Act of 2025 would direct the Secretary of Commerce, through NOAA, to establish a program providing technical and financial assistance for oyster reef restoration and conservation, including a competitive grant program for research, planning, construction, monitoring, and workforce training. The bill affects federal, state, local, and Tribal governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, the shellfish industry, and private individuals or entities engaged in oyster reef activities. It authorizes $15 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and explicitly preserves state and Tribal authority to manage oyster reefs.
