View Rule

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing a temporary rule establishing three special use areas in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) which will prohibit all entry except for restoration activities under a valid Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) permit. These areas are needed for the relocation of coral nursery stock to cooler waters in response to an anticipated marine heatwave this summer with a high likelihood of coral bleaching. NOAA proposes three areas, each are individually approximately 0.07 square miles and are within Federal waters of the FKNMS. This temporary rule is necessary to prevent or minimize destruction of, loss of, or injury to sanctuary resources, specifically to facilitate restoration activities to improve or repair living habitats through protecting coral nursery stock at this site from potential impacts caused by anchor damage and/or fishing gear.  These temporary special use areas would expire within 60 days unless they are extended an additional 60 days.
