Title: Re-Establishing the Sanctuary Nomination Process
Abstract: NOAAs ONMS is announcing that it is re-establishing the sanctuary nomination process and is proposing to amend its regulations on nominating and evaluating sites for eligibility as national marine sanctuaries. This action would replace the inactive Sanctuary Evaluation List (SEL) with a new opportunity for local communities and other interested parties to provide NOAA with robust, criteria-driven proposals for new national marine sanctuaries. To implement this process, NOAA is seeking public comment on proposed regulatory changes related to sanctuary nomination and designation procedures, and on the criteria by which the agency would analyze nominations for potential new national marine sanctuaries. Once these criteria have been made final, NOAA intends to solicit nominations for areas of the marine and Great Lakes environments that satisfy those criteria, and may be considered for designation as a national marine sanctuary.
