Final Environmental Impact Statement and Management Plan for the Proposed Weeks Bay National Estuarine Sanctuary.

摘要

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the State of Alabama propose to designate approximately 950 acres of land and 1,718 acres (2.68 sq. mi.) of water in Weeks Bay, Alabama as a National Estuarine Sanctuary. Following its designation, and pending the availability of funding, it is also proposed that an additional 300 acres of land be added to the Sanctuary during the second year of operation. The designation will result in the implementation of a plan which will establish a comprehensive management framework for carrying out surveillance and enforcement, resource studies, and interpretive programs.
