Description:

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to provide Federal funds to the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) to support construction of a rock revetment along Garapan Fishing Base, Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). A revetment is a passive structure that protects against erosion caused by wave action, storm surge, and currents. The Council would, in turn, provide funds to the CNMI Department of Lands and Natural Resources (DLNR), the project proponent, to construct the revetment along the land-lagoon interface stabilizing 380 ft of shoreline along Garapan Fishing Base. Stabilizing the shoreline would protect public land and infrastructure and reduce erosion resulting in improved water quality in Saipan Lagoon along shore. Garapan Fishing Base supports sustainable fishing infrastructure including a boat ramp, trailer parking, and supports other community activities including shore fishing, community markets and recreation. DLNR proposed and designed the project and would be the project lead. During construction, DLNR would implement a suite of best management practices intended to protect air and water quality, marine benthic habitats and wildlife, historic resources, and other features of the coastal and marine environment. NMFS prepared a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) supported by the final EA after considering public comment and concluding environmental compliance reviews.
