SEC. 2. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) direct Federal agencies to implement authorities under

        trafficking violation;
            (2) provide a standardized process for determining and 
        adjudicating awards to whistleblowers under such authorities;
            (3) amend the Marine Turtle Conservation Act of 2004 (16 
        U.S.C. 6601 et seq.) to make United States territories eligible 
        for Federal funding and assistance and provide for the 
        conservation of freshwater turtles and tortoises under such 
        Act;
            (4) direct any fines, penalties, and forfeitures of 
        property from violations of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of

        conservation;

        United States Fish and Wildlife Service officials in high-
        intensity wildlife trafficking areas abroad;

        section 1892 of title 18, United States Code (popularly known 
        as the Travel Act), and the racketeering prohibitions (RICO) of 
        chapter 96 of such title;
            (9) direct any civil penalties, fines, forfeitures, and 
        restitution from wildlife trafficking violations under section 
        1892 of title 18, United States Code (popularly known as the 
        Travel Act), and the racketeering prohibitions (RICO) of 
        chapter 96 of such title to support wildlife conservation;

        predicate offense under the money laundering statute (section 
        1956 of title 18, United States Code); and
            (11) direct any civil penalties, fines, forfeitures, and
