Overfishing Limit (OFL); (3) election of 

officers; and (4) to initiate discussion 

and develop a statement for the March,

Permit set-aside. Other issues relevant 

to coastal pelagic species fisheries 

management and science may be 

addressed as time permits. 

The purpose of the CPS Methodology 

Review Panel meeting is to consider 

acoustic-trawl survey and data analysis 

methods, to assess their utility in stock 

assessment models to monitor trends at 

the population level for Pacific sardine 

and other CPS stocks.

ACTION: Notice of final approval and 

availability of the revised management 

plans for the following National 

Estuarine Research Reserves: North 

Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC and San Francisco 

Bay, CA. 

SUMMARY: The Estuarine Reserves 

Division, Office of Ocean and Coastal

Service, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

U.S. Department of Commerce has 

approved the Management Plan 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

2086 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2011 / Notices 

Revisions of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay 

National Estuarine Research Reserve 

and San Francisco Bay National 

Estuarine Research Reserve. 

The revised management plan for the 

North Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC National 

Estuarine Research Reserve outlines the 

administrative structure; the education, 

training, stewardship, and research 

programs of the reserve; and the plans 

for future land acquisition and facility 

development to support reserve 

operations. The goals described in this 

plan provide a framework that supports 

program integration based on priority 

issues defined by the reserve. The 

objectives described in this plan address 

the most critical coastal issues in North 

Inlet-Winyah Bay such as impacts from 

coastal and watershed development, 

climate events on coastal ecosystems 

and human communities, and invasive 

species and habitat loss impacts on 

biodiversity. 

Since the last approved management 

plan in 1992, the reserve has become 

fully staffed; added a Coastal Training 

Program that delivers science-based 

information to key decision makers; and 

added significant monitoring of 

emergent marsh vegetation, invasive 

species, water quality, and bird 

populations. In addition to 

programmatic and staffing advances, the 

reserve upgraded its headquarters 

building with a 4,500 square foot 

structure to support research, 

stewardship, and the coastal training 

programs that includes six offices, a 

monitoring lab, and library. In 

cooperation with the Belle W. Baruch 

Foundation, a 12,500 square foot 

education facility was developed to 

support reserve educational programs 

and includes interpretive exhibits, 

aquaria, classrooms, and education staff 

offices, as well as an outdoor classroom. 

This plan can be accessed at http:// 

www.northinlet.sc.edu. 

The revised management plan for the 

San Francisco Bay National Estuarine 

Research Reserve outlines a framework 

of overarching goals and program 

specific objectives that will guide the 

education, training, research, and 

developing stewardship programs of the 

reserve; describes land acquisition and 

boundary expansion; as well as outlines 

plans for facility use and development 

to support reserve operations. The goals 

and objectives put forth in this plan 

focus programmatic efforts on four 

critical issues that affect the reserve’s 

ability to conserve ecological 

communities in support of the Bay’s 

growing population: Climate change, 

species interactions, water quality, and 

habitat restoration. Broadly, the goals 

for each of these issues include 

increasing knowledge, understanding 

effects, and improving the ability of 

partners and stakeholders to respond to 

these issues. The goals described in this 

plan provide a framework that supports 

program integration for collaborative 

management of the San Francisco Bay 

National Estuarine Research Reserve. 

Since the last approved management 

plan in 2003, the reserve has hired a full 

complement of core staff; established a 

research lab, fully operational Systemwide Monitoring Program, and Graduate 

Research Fellowship Program; added a 

Coastal Training Program that delivers 

science-based information to key 

decision makers; developed education 

programs focused on sharing estuarine 

research with non-academic audiences; 

and constructed facilities to support 

essential functions of the reserve at its 

headquarters on the Romberg Tiburon 

Center campus of San Francisco State 

University. These facilities include 

office space for staff, classroom space, 

laboratory, and meeting facilities. The 

reserve has also constructed facilities 

and interpretive exhibits at its 

components sites, China Camp State 

Park and Rush Ranch Open Space 

Preserve, that support on-site research 

and educational programs. This plan
