Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Vieques Bioluminescent Bay
Conservation Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) The island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, is known for the
natural beauty of its coastal features such as beaches,
lagoons, and bioluminescent bays.
(2) Such bioluminescence is the result of the production
and emission of light by a chemical reaction within a living
organism, the dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamense, when it is
agitated.
(3) Puerto Mosquito Bay in Vieques is of national and
international significance because it is among the brightest
bioluminescent marine areas in the world.
(4) The unique biological and physical properties of Puerto
Mosquito Bay, such as its rate of water exchange with the
ocean, water quality, and adjacent mangroves, contribute to a
high density of the bioluminescent dinoflagellate Pyrodinium
bahamense in its waters.
(5) Puerto Mosquito Bay is of great ecological, cultural,
scientific, educational, and economic value to present and
future generations.
(6) Puerto Mosquito Bay is of particular value to the
residents of Puerto Rico because its nearly unparalleled
bioluminescence creates a sense of local pride, wonder, and
enjoyment, and attracts visitors who support the local economy.
(7) Puerto Mosquito Bay's ecosystem is fragile and its
ecological integrity is subject to damage or loss from a
variety of potential disturbances.
(8) The popularity of Puerto Mosquito Bay is a potential
threat because of increasing visitation and related impacts.
(9) The unique characteristics of Puerto Mosquito Bay also
make it vulnerable to physical, biological, and other
disturbances as in other documented cases where bioluminescent
bays have been degraded.
(10) Action is needed to provide comprehensive protection
that would complement current Federal and local management
activities.
(11) The agencies of the United States need to cooperate
fully to achieve the necessary protection of both terrestrial
areas adjacent to and marine resources within Puerto Mosquito
Bay.
(12) The Federal Government and the Government of Puerto
Rico should jointly develop and implement a comprehensive
program to protect nearby terrestrial and marine areas to
maintain water quality and other environmental characteristics
that contribute to the unique nature of Puerto Mosquito Bay.
(13) Designation of Puerto Mosquito Bay as a United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Biosphere
Reserve would complement designation as a National Marine
Sanctuary by enhancing research, management, and education
through international communication and cooperation.
