        significant natural resources, including important wildlife 
        habitat, several riparian corridors, extensive wetlands, ponds 
        and other water sources, cypress groves, meadows, and sand 
        dunes that should be preserved for present and future 
        generations;
            (2) the ocean and coastal ecosystems adjacent to the Point 
        Arena-Stornetta Public Lands are internationally recognized as 
        significant centers of coastal upwelling that support the 
        diverse, abundant, and productive marine ecosystems and 
        wildlife underlying the local economy and identity of coastal 
        communities;
            (3) the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands tell an 
        important story about the coastal prehistory and history of 
        California in the context of the surrounding region and 
        communities;
            (4) the coastal area surrounding the Point Arena-Stornetta 
        Public Lands was traditionally used by Indian people, including 
        the Pomo Indian tribes;

        associated with adjacent land managed for the enjoyment of 
        current and future generations, including the Arena Rock Marine 
        Natural Preserve, and Manchester Beach State Park;
            (6) the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands represent a

        administered by the Bureau of Land Management of the Department 
        of the Interior; and
