This book was released on 2014 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this action, expansion of CBNMS and GFNMS to an area north and west of their current boundaries, is to extend national marine sanctuary protection to an area that has significant marine resources and habitats and is the source of nutrient-rich upwelled waters for the existing marine sanctuaries. This proposed expansion, which is based on research by NOAA and its scientific partners, would encompass a globally significant coastal upwelling center originating off Point Arena and flowing into GFNMS and CBNMS via wind driven currents. The proposed action would also carry over existing regulations into the expansion area, amend current regulations for GFNMS and CBNMS, and add new regulations. These regulatory changes would provide for comprehensive management and protection of the resources of the area encompassed by the current sanctuaries and the proposed expansion area"--Executive summary (ES-2).

Book excerpt: The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. The Coastal Zone Information Center (CZIC) collection provides access to nearly 5,000 coastal related documents that the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) received from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Library. The collection provides almost 30 years of data and information crucial to the understanding of U.S. coastal management and NOAA's mission to sustain healthy coasts. This is one of their documents.

Book excerpt: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1434), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for the proposed expansion of boundaries at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). The proposed action serves NOAA's mission to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources, and furthers the FGBNMS mission 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." ONMS has developed various boundary expansion alternatives, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of the alternatives under NEPA, applying criteria and evaluation standards under the regulations implementing NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § Parts 1500-1508) and the NOAA implementing procedures for NEPA (NOAA's Administrative Order 216-6). The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting (i) present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives; (ii) commercial, governmental, or recreational resource uses in the areas that are subject to the primary jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior; and (iii) any past, present, or proposed future disposal or discharge of materials in the vicinity of the proposed sanctuary. NOAA's preferred alternative (Alternative 3) is the expansion of the existing boundaries from ~56 square miles to an area that encompasses ~383 square miles of waters in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, including additional important and sensitive marine habitat areas outside the current sanctuary boundary. No significant adverse impacts to resources and the human environment are expected under any alternative. Long-term beneficial impacts are anticipated if the proposed action is implemented. Although an environmental assessment would have sufficed to analyze the impacts of the proposed action under NEPA, a DEIS has been prepared to satisfy the procedural requirements of the NMSA.
