Management Overview

Management of the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary is composed of a number of components including authorizing legislation, regulations, management plans and permitting. Management plans are site-specific documents that the NMSP uses to manage individual sanctuaries. Sanctuaries are managed to protect and conserve their resources and to allow uses that are compatible with resource protection. The public management plan review process will begin for the Monitor NMS in 2008.
