Trump Signs Save Our Seas Act to Protect Oceans From Trash
While pollution in marine ecosystems is becoming increasingly problematic, conservationists aren’t giving up on the issue and are now celebrating a step in the right direction with President Donald Trump’s signing of the Save Our Seas Act.
The Save Our Seas Act, which was passed with bi-partisan support earlier this summer, reauthorizes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Marine Debris Program through 2022, giving it $10 million a year, and provides resources to help states respond to severe marine debris events.
By reauthorizing the NOAA’S marine debris program, the law supports research on and solutions to this growing problem. By urging the State Department to engage their counterparts around the world, [it] recognizes the global nature of marine debris, which spares no country or coastline,” Kevin Allexon, senior manager of government relations at the Ocean Conservancy told Courthouse News. “We are grateful for the bipartisan effort here — another reminder that our ocean is for everyone to enjoy and care for.”

Not sure why you think it is "ignored"? USA Today has a video on this: https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/po ... /38125451/
and US News covered it as well: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states ... efined-rec
It is a bit overshadowed by all the other news, including the end of a science panel to review air quality at the DEP

Trump’s EPA scraps air pollution science review panels
Andrew Wheeler, the acting chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), yesterday fired a panel of scientific experts charged with assisting the agency's latest review of air quality standards for particulate matter. He also scrapped plans to form a similar advisory panel to aid in a recently launched assessment of the ground-level ozone limits.
Those steps, coupled with Wheeler's previously announced decision to concentrate authority in a seven-member committee made up mostly of his appointees, quickly sparked objections that the agency is intent on skewing the outcome of those reviews in favor of industry.
