National Marine Sanctuary Nomination Process
Channel: NOAA Sanctuaries
Date: 28/06/2013

NOAA is seeking public input on the proposed criteria and process the agency would use to evaluate whether a proposed site could be considered for designation as a national marine sanctuary. After NOAA receives and analyzes all comments, it will publish a final rule in the Federal Register with the revised criteria and guidelines for the process to nominate new sites. http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/nomination/
