The purpose of the Modernizing Access to our Public Waters Act of 2025 is to improve how data about public outdoor recreation on federal waterways is collected, shared, and made accessible. This legislation aims to standardize and consolidate information from various federal agencies that manage these waterways, making it easier for the public to understand access rules and restrictions. Key provisions of the Act include the requirement for federal agencies to develop and adopt standards for sharing geospatial data related to public access and fishing restrictions on federal waterways.
