    Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Revised Management Plan December 2007 U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Ocean Service National Marine Sanctuary Program This document is the revised management plan for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It replaces the management plan that was implemented in 1996 and will serve as the primary management document for the Sanctuary during the next five years. Comments or questions on this management plan should be directed to: CDR David A. Score Superintendent Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary 33 East Quay Road Key West, Florida 33040 (305) 809-4700 [email protected] Note to Reader In an effort to make this document more user-friendly, we have included references to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Web site rather than including the entire text of many bulky attachments or appendices that are traditionally included in management plans. Readers who do not have access to the Internet may call the Sanctuary office at (305) 809-4700 to request copies of any documents that are on the Sanctuary’s Web site. For readers with Internet access, the Sanctuary’s Web site can be found at floridakeys.noaa.gov. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT This document is a report on the results of NOAA’s five-year review of the strategies and activities detailed in the 1996 Final Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It serves two primary purposes: 1) to update readers on the outcomes of successfully implemented strategies - in short, accomplishments that were merely plans on paper in 1996; and, 2) to disseminate useful information about the Sanctuary and its management strategies, activities and products.
