Official abstract: NOAA is reviewing the management plans of the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries (GFNMS/CBNMS) to evaluate progress toward the sanctuaries' goals and to develop a unified management plan for both sanctuaries. NOAA is requesting information from individuals, organizations, Tribes, and government agencies on the priority activities that NOAA should address. In addition to receiving written comments through electronic submission, NOAA will provide an opportunity for oral comment at a meeting of the sanctuaries' advisory councils. NOAA currently does not anticipate proposing changes to regulations as part of this management plan review process.
