This bill would reduce the amount of money available in 2024 for a federal program that protects and restores wetlands across North America. The North American Wetlands Conservation Fund is a program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that helps preserve these important natural areas by funding projects like restoring marshes, swamps, and other wet habitats. These wetlands are crucial because they filter water, prevent flooding, and provide homes for wildlife like ducks, fish, and other animals. By limiting the funding for this program in fiscal year 2024, the bill would mean fewer wetland conservation projects could be completed that year, potentially affecting environmental protection efforts in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This could impact hunters and fishermen who rely on healthy wetlands, as well as communities that depend on these areas for flood control and water quality.

To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for U.S. Department of Interior, US Fish and Wildlife Service, North American Wetlands Conservation Fund for fiscal year 2024.
