This bill, known as the "Myakka Wild and Scenic River Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. It proposes to designate a 34-mile segment of the Myakka River within Sarasota County, Florida, as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The river segments will be classified as scenic, wild, or recreational depending on their specific location. Administration of these segments will be handled by the Secretary of the Interior in partnership with the Myakan River Management Coordinating Council. The Act also allows for cooperative agreements with various state, local, and non-profit entities.
