Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Final Environmental Impact Statement/Management Plan.

摘要

This abstract describes the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Management Plan (FEIS/MP) for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes to designate waters encompassing and surrounding Thunder Bay on Lake Huron as a National Marine Sanctuary, in partnership with the State of Michigan. The Sanctuary boundary, as proposed in the FEIS/MP, extends from Presque Isle Lighthouse, south to Sturgeon Point Lighthouse, and lakeward to longitude 83 degrees west. In total, the Sanctuary encompasses 808 square miles. The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary will establish partnerships among governmental and non-governmental entities for comprehensive management of Thunder Bay’s underwater cultural resources.
