Plain-English Summary

The proposal would strengthen federal efforts to prevent, manage, and eliminate invasive aquatic species like zebra mussels and Asian carp that damage waterways, fisheries, and infrastructure across the country. It updates existing laws to give government agencies and states better tools and coordination to stop these species from spreading and to remove them where they've already taken hold. The changes would affect water management agencies, fishing communities, power plants, and anyone who uses lakes and rivers for recreation or commerce.
