The Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2025 amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to establish the Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance Grant Program. This program requires the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to provide emergency assistance for sea turtle rescue, rehabilitation, and response. The bill also creates the Sea Turtle Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Rapid Response Fund to support these efforts. The authority to carry out these provisions will terminate seven years after the enactment of this Act.
