Current Bills in Congress

• Sponsor: Rep Speier, Jackie [CA-14] (introduced 2/26/2013)     
• San Francisco Bay Restoration Act - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to authorize the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide funding to state and local agencies, special districts, and public or nonprofit agencies, institutions, and organizations for activities, studies, or projects identified in an annual priority list, including restoration projects and habitat improvement for fish, waterfowl, and wildlife, that advance the goals and objectives of the comprehensive management plan for the San Francisco estuary. Limits funding amounts to 75% of the total cost of eligible activities to be carried out using those amounts. Authorizes appropriations to the Administrator to carry out this Act for each of FY2013-FY20. Prohibits such amounts from being used by a management conference under the National Estuary Program.
• restoration projects and habitat improvement for fish, waterfowl, and wildlife, that advance the goals and objectives of the comprehensive management plan for the San Francisco estuary.
• This bill is for the benefit of the environment and the animals that are becoming scarce because we have taken over their homes. They are dying off because there is no space for them or food for them. 
• Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.

I don't think that support for the bill divided along political party lines because in reality it benefits     all of us because they keep the habitats going and flowing making things run smoothly. Each animal has a job that they do which contributes to the environment that we benefit off.

If we lose our natural habitats it can impact our environment in a negative ways. So it's in our best interest to stay aware of how our environment is doing and how we can help stay healthy or ways we can improve it.
