What the measure doesCRS summary

South Florida Clean Coastal Waters Act of 2021

This bill addresses harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in the South Florida ecosystem. An algal bloom is a rapid growth of algae that may create toxic or hypoxic (severely low-oxygen) conditions that are harmful to humans, animals, aquatic ecosystems, and the economy.

The Inter-Agency Task Force on Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia must assess potential approaches to reduce harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in the ecosystem. The task force must also submit a plan, based on the assessment, for reducing, mitigating, and controlling harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in the region.

Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing S. 66 as public Law on Jun 16, 2022. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
