H.R. 8704 wants to help protect big whales, like the North Atlantic right whales, by giving money to projects that try to keep whales safe from boats and other things in the ocean. The plan is to use up to $10 million to support people and organizations who come up with ideas to make the ocean a safer place for these whales.

The bill wants to create a program that gives money to help people and big whales, like the North Atlantic right whale, play safely together in the ocean.
