Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
- Migratory Birds Protection Act . The Council of Marine Carriers is an umbrella organization representing several domestic ship owners. As such, we have concerns regarding the Migratory Birds Act in that this legislation permits criminalization of seafarers and shipowners and places a reverse onus to prove one's innocence upon the mariner and owners of ships.
