 New challenges and opportunities emerge with time. For this reason,
federal law requires periodic updating of sanctuary management plans. The
Monitor National Marine Sanctuary management plan review will take
place through a community-based process with opportunities for the
public and other government agencies to share their knowledge,
voice their opinions, and directly participate as active stewards
of America's marine sanctuaries.
Click here to learn more about Management Plan Review, the upcoming
scoping meetings, and how you can be involved in the process.
The 2008 Monitor condition report provides a summary of resources in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, pressures on those resources, the current condition and trends, and management responses to the pressures that threaten the integrity of the marine environment.
