Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary Final Management Plan 2012
Author: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781496029805
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This management plan is organized into six sections. Section 1 provides background information on national marine sanctuaries, FGBNMS, and the purpose and need for updating the management plan. Section 2 is an overview of the institutional setting in which the sanctuary operates and of the regional ecosystem of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. It also describes the local environment of East and West Flower Garden Banks and Stetson Bank. Section 3 contains the action plans, which detail the management strategies and activities to address the priority issues of FGBNMS and meet the purposes and policies of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (Appendix I). Section 4 provides information on the public comments received on the draft management plan and a summary of the changes that were made to the management plan as a result. Section 5 provides a summary of the environmental analysis of the two alternatives considered: 1) no action, and 2) the preferred alternative of revising the management plan and making modifications to FGBNMS regulations (Appendix II). Section 6 lists the sources cited in this document.

Book Description
"Located in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), 70 to 115 miles off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana, Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS or sanctuary) includes three separated undersea features: East Flower Garden Bank, West Flower Garden Bank and Stetson Bank. The Banks range in depth from 55 feet to nearly 500 feet and are underwater hills formed by rising domes of ancient salt. The Banks provided a wide range of habitat conditions that support several distinct biological communities, including the northernmost coral reefs in the continental United States. These and similar formations throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico provide the foundation for essential habitat for a variety of species. The combination of location and geology makes FGBNMS extremely productive and diverse, and presents a unique set of challenges for managing and protecting its natural wonders. East and West Flower Garden Banks were designated a national marine sanctuary in 1992 for purposes of protecting and managing the conservation, ecological, recreational, research, education, and historic and aesthetic resources and qualities of these areas...Stetson Bank was added to the sanctuary in 1996...The management plan for both FGBNMS was originally developed in 1991 as part of the designation process...The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) is required to periodically review sanctuary management plans to ensure that sanctuary sites continue to best conserve, protect and enhance their nationally significant living and cultural resources. Upon such review, NOAA has decided to update and revise the 1991 Flower Garden Banks management plan to address recent scientific discoveries, advancements in managing marine resources, and new resource management issues. In September 2006, the sanctuary embarked on its first Management Plan Review (MPR), a public process to examine the original destination documents, management plan and regulations, and evaluate them for the future. The sanctuary mission--revised with review of this management plan--is to identify, protect, conserve, and enhance the natural and cultural resources, values, and qualities of FGBNMS and its regional environment for this and future generations"--Executive Summary (page 7).

Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions of Management Strategies and Regulations of the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary by Users and Non-users of the Sanctuary
Author: Vernon R. Leeworthy
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781496096524
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
This research is part of the Socioeconomic Research & Monitoring Program for the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. In 2010, a baseline study of users and non-users of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) was initiated. Mail surveys were designed in 2010 and implemented in 2011 and 2012. The study provides baseline data on the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of users and non-users of GRNMS in regard to management strategies and regulations. It also provides information on socioeconomic/demographic profiles, activity participation and use of coastal and ocean waters off the Georgia coast both inside and outside GRNMS. The surveys collected data on sources of public information on GRNMS used and the amount of trust in sources used, familiarity with GRNMS rules and regulations, and attitudes about selected management strategies for coastal and ocean resources both inside and outside GRNMS. For users of GRNMS, perceptions of resource conditions were also addressed.
