  • Description:
    The proposed boundary expansion would extend the comprehensive conservation and management capacities identified in the NOAA-approved GTMNERR management plan to new areas, providing a mechanism for implementation of specific restoration, monitoring and research activities for important marine resources. The incorporation of places of national significance into the National Estuarine Research Reserve supports national ocean resource management objectives articulated by many publicly vetted and expert-driven strategic planning efforts under the administration of NOAA. At the same time, the opportunities for research, exploration, and education related to these significant ocean resources are critical for understanding changes occurring in the environment and understanding the ecosystem services these resources provide for communities throughout this region. Therefore, a comprehensive management approach offered by NOAA designation is needed and the GTMNERR is uniquely positioned to provide a coordinated conservation program to protect the additional ecologically vital areas in its vicinity.
