H.R. 4051 · 118th Congress
SHARKED Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 118th Congress ended.

Supporting the Health of Aquatic systems through Research Knowledge and Enhanced Dialogue Act or the SHARKED Act
This bill establishes requirements to address shark depredation (i.e., consumption of a fishing catch by a shark before it is retrieved by a fisherman). Specifically, the bill directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish a task force to identify and address critical needs with respect to shark depredation. The task force must terminate within seven years.
When making funds available under its cooperative research and management program, NOAA must also prioritize projects related to understanding shark depredation.
