S.2089

Allows certain activities for sturgeon held in captivity or controlled environments under the Endangered Species Act.

The Sturgeon Conservation and Sustainability Act amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to permit specific activities for sturgeon held in captivity or controlled environments. This includes sturgeon legally held in captivity or controlled environments as of the enactment date, until they are intentionally returned to the wild. The bill also requires individuals holding such sturgeon to demonstrate their eligibility and maintain required inventories and records, ensuring compliance with regulations without unnecessary duplication.
