The bill also emphasizes the sharing of cetacean data and assessments of the program's efficacy. It mandates reports on the program’s functionality and its impact on reducing vessel strikes. Additionally, the bill provides definitions of key terms and specifies consultations with various stakeholders for the program's execution.
