The Modernizing Access to our Public Waters Act of 2025 mandates that federal land and water management agencies standardize, consolidate, and publish data on public outdoor recreational use of federal waterways. The act requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to digitize and make publicly available geographic information system data on federal waterway restrictions, fishing restrictions, and waterway access and navigation information. The data must be updated regularly and include details such as boat ramps, fishing access sites, and seasonal closures.
