Procedure for Map Revisions

(1) The Office may revise the official maps of the Ocean Sanctuaries to change the landward boundary of an Ocean Sanctuary to extend inward in rivers, bays, harbors, or coves to include environmentally sensitive areas or to make corrections or adjustments to address technical discrepancies or errors, or to clarify intent or meaning. (2) Any proposed revisions to the maps shall be proposed by the Office and noticed in the Environmental Monitor for a 21-day public comment period. The notice shall describe the proposed revision, the rationale for the change and provide maps clearly indicating the change. (3) After the close of the public comment period, the Office will make a final decision and issue final versions of the Ocean Sanctuaries maps. This decision will be noticed in the Environmental Monitor.
