In a rare bipartisan effort, Senators Ed Markey and John Cornyn are advocating for a bill to allocate $5 million yearly for sea turtle rescue and research. This initiative addresses the increasing plight of cold-stunned sea turtles being washed ashore along the U.S. coastline. With compelling statistics revealing a drastic rise in stranded turtles, Markey emphasizes the urgent need for funding to support volunteer-led rescue operations. The bill has gained notable support and is currently awaiting Congress's approval as legislators express hope for its passage.
"Next up for this common sense bill is to move like Crush from Finding Nemo and catch a current onto a bill package."
