                                 A BILL


 
 To amend the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act of 1990 to 
provide for implementation of recommendations of the United States Fish 
 and Wildlife Service contained in the Great Lakes Fishery Restoration 
                             Study Report.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

<DELETED>SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    This Act may be cited as the ``Great Lakes Fish and 
Wildlife Restoration Act of 1997''.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    The Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) The Great Lakes Fishery Resources Restoration 
        Study, for which a report was submitted to the Congress in 
        1995, was a comprehensive study of the status, assessment, 
        management, and restoration needs of the fishery resources of 
        the Great Lakes Basin, and was conducted through the joint 
        effort of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, State 
        fish and wildlife resource management agencies, Indian tribes, 
        and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) This study found the following:</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) Physical changes to the Great Lakes 
                through dredging, construction of hydroelectric and 
                other dams, stone revetment projects, clearing of 
                shoreline vegetation, and increased agriculture have 
                altered habitats, fish spawning mortality, erosion, 
                sedimentation, oxygen levels, contaminant transport, 
                nutrient loading, and aesthetic character. Combined 
                effects of overexploitation, habitat impairment, and 
                destabilizing effects of nonindigenous species are 
                responsible for most of the decline of native fishes in 
                the Great Lakes. Physical changes to the nearshore 
                environments, riverine tributaries, and wetlands by 
                development projects have affected those species 
                relying on these habitats for critical phases of their 
                life histories. Monitoring of contaminants and analysis 
                of their effects should be coordinated and 
                expanded.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) Significant habitats necessary for 
                self-sustaining populations of fish and wildlife are 
                threatened or impaired. Actions should include 
                identifying and protecting habitats that are used by 
                fish and wildlife for spawning, breeding, nesting, 
                rearing and feeding, and rehabilitating degraded 
                habitats to be utilized by a diverse 
                community.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) Working under the cooperatively 
                developed guidance of the Strategic Plan for Management 
                of the Great Lakes Fisheries, published by the Great 
                Lakes Fishery Commission in 1980, and the Great Lakes 
                Water Quality Agreement, State, Provincial, Native 
                American tribal, and Federal agencies bordering the 
                Great Lakes have made significant progress toward the 
                goal of restoring a healthy fish community to the Great 
                Lakes. Differences in mandate, perception of 
                priorities, and style of management create major 
                institutional impediments to systematic and 
                comprehensive coordination of ecosystem management. 
Many of the current problems are, in fact, the unintended consequences 
of uncoordinated management of water quality, fisheries, shipping, and 
human developments in the Great Lakes Basin. Concepts of responsible 
resource use and management and biological conservation should not be 
at odds, but should be integrated via partnerships to meet future 
needs. Information exchange and cross-program forums should be 
established to encourage management. Setting of specific management 
goals is central to the coordination of management efforts. Fishery 
managers should increase their involvement with the Binational Program, 
Remedial Action Plans, Lake-Wide Management Plans, and the 
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program planning 
process.</DELETED>

    This Act may be cited as the ``Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife 
Restoration Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Great Lakes Fishery Resources Restoration Study, 
        for which a report was submitted to Congress in 1995, was a 
        comprehensive study of the status, and the assessment, 
        management, and restoration needs, of the fishery resources of 
        the Great Lakes Basin, and was conducted through the joint 
        effort of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, State 
        fish and wildlife resource management agencies, Indian Tribes, 
        and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission; and
            (2) the study--
                    (A) found that, although State, Provincial, Native 
                American Tribal, and Federal agencies have made 
                significant progress toward the goal of restoring a 
                healthy fish community to the Great Lakes Basin, 
                additional actions and better coordination are needed 
                to protect and effectively manage the fisheries and 
                related resources in the Great Lakes Basin; and
                    (B) recommended actions that are not currently 
                funded but are considered essential to meet goals and 
                objectives in managing the resources of the Great Lakes 
                Basin.

subsection (b)) to the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act of 
1990 is a reference to the Act enacted by title I of Public Law 101-573

    (b) Repeal of Duplicative Enactment.--The Great Lakes Fish and 
Wildlife Restoration Act of 1990, enacted as title II of Public Law 
101-646 (104 Stat. 4773), is repealed.
