AGENCY: Estuarine Reserves Division,

Management, National Ocean Service, 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Comment Period for 

Revised Management Plans for the 

following National Estuarine Research 

Reserves: North Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC 

and San Francisco Bay, CA. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Estuarine Reserves Division, Office 

of Ocean and Coastal Resource 

Management, National Ocean Service, 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), U.S. 

Department of Commerce is announcing 

a thirty day comment period for the 

revised management plans of the North 

Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC National 

Estuarine Research Reserve and the San 

Francisco Bay, CA 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 are designed to provide a 

framework that supports program 

integration based on priority issues 

defined by the reserve. The objectives 

described in this plan are designed to 

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 impacts on habitat 

loss and 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 4500 

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 for review 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 are designed to provide a 

framework that supports program 

integration for collaborative 

management of the San Francisco Bay 

Reserve. 

Since the last approved management 

plan in 2003, the reserve has 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 

can be accessed for review at http://
