The Aquatic Biodiversity Preservation Act of 2025 aims to enhance the understanding and conservation of aquatic species by establishing a program to sequence their genomes. The main goal is to improve scientific knowledge and support management and enforcement efforts related to these species. Key provisions of the Act include the requirement for the Secretary of Commerce to set up a genome sequencing program. This program will involve identifying and cataloging aquatic species, collecting genetic samples, processing DNA, and sequencing genomes to high-quality standards.
