- Reusing Equipment for Environmental Fortification (REEF) Act (H.R.5306)
- Restoring Resilient Reefs Act (S. 46)
- Sustaining America’s Fisheries for the Future Act of 2021 (H.R. 4690)
Making an impact
The Guy Harvey Foundation has led and supported a number of conservation policies, including:
- The establishment of the Bahamas Shark Sanctuary (2011)
- The Cayman Islands National Conservation Law (2013)
- S. Mako Shark Legislation (2018)
- Billfish Conservation Act (2018)
