Summary
Shackleford Banks Wild Horses Protection Act - Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) allow a herd of free roaming horses in the Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina; and (2) enter into an agreement with the Foundation for Shackleford Horses (a nonprofit corporation established under North Carolina laws) to provide for cost-effective management of such horses and adoption by the Foundation of those horses that the Secretary removes from the Seashore. Requires the Secretary to accommodate the historic population level of the free roaming horse herd (between 100 and 110 horses) in the Seashore. Prohibits the Secretary from removing or assisting in or permitting the removal of any free roaming horses from Federal lands within the Seashore unless: (1) the number of such horses exceeds 110; (2) there is an emergency or a need to protect public health and safety; or (3) there is concern for the persistence and viability of the horse population. Requires the Secretary to annually monitor, assess, and make available to the public findings regarding the population structure and health of such horses.
