Last night, as part of a broader legislative package, the House of Representatives passed the Integrated Coastal Ocean Observing System (ICOOS) Act, legislation introduced by Congressman Don Young (R-AK) and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) Co-Chairs of the Bipartisan House Oceans Caucus to improve data collection and information sharing between the federal agencies and coastal observation partners dedicated to monitoring oceans, coasts, and the Great Lakes. Our integrated Ocean Observation System helps make maritime commerce possible, said Congressman Don Young. Equipping our fishermen and ship captains with the best possible data is essential to making our waters safer and more navigable. Accurate data collection is also critical to maritime search and rescue operations, the health of fisheries, and the mitigation of coastal hazards. I am very pleased to see the House pass my legislation that not only benefits Alaska, but coastal communities across the country. I am grateful for Congresswoman Bonamici's partnership on this bill and look forward to continuing our work together on future Oceans Caucus priorities. ### f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
