Herdrich, Rhonda Suka, Matthew Lawrence, Christopher Filimoehala, Stephanie Gandulla National Marine Sanctuaries National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Maritime Heritage Program Series: Number 6 The Maritime Heritage Program works cooperatively and in collaboration within the Sanctuary System and with partners outside of NOAA. We work to better understand, assess and protect America’s maritime heritage and to share what we learn with the public as well as other scholars and resource managers. This is the first volume in a series of technical reports that document the work of the Maritime Heritage Program within and outside of the National Marine Sanctuaries. These reports will examine the maritime cultural landscape of America in all of its aspects, from overviews, historical studies, excavation and survey reports to genealogical studies.

Proposed Action NMFS proposes to release congressionally appropriated fishery disaster relief funds to the AS Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR). Once approved for release, DMWR will use the funds to build a small concrete ice house at its administrative and workstation adjacent to Pago Pago Harbor at Fagatogo and a small boat ramp at the southwestern-most terminus of Pago Pago Harbor. The projects are intended to support recovery of the American Samoa bottomfish fishery, which experienced a fishery disaster after the 2009 Tsunami. The boat ramp would relieve boat traffic congestion in the area and fishermen would experience improved boat launching and return conditions due to a modernized ramp design.
