Representatives Dave Joyce (R-OH-14) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-01), and Senators Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), introduced the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Amendments Act (HABHRCA) of 2023. This legislation would reauthorize the HABHRCA program through 2028 to improve monitoring, forecasting, prevention, and mitigation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and hypoxia by requiring better coordination among task force agencies, and state and local entities, including Indian tribes.
