Pursuant
to 15 CFR 921.33(c), the revised plan
will bring the reserve into compliance.
The South Slough Reserve revised plan
will replace the plan previously
approved in 2006.
The revised management plan
outlines a strategic plan; administrative
structure; science, education, public
involvement, and training programs of
the reserve; resource protection and
public access plans; strategies for future
land acquisition; and facility
development to support reserve
operations.
The South Slough Reserve takes an
integrated approach to management,
linking research, education, coastal
training, and resource management
functions. The reserve has outlined how
it will manage administration and its
core programs, providing detailed
actions that will enable it to accomplish
specific goals and objectives. Since the
last Management Plan, the reserve has
built out its core programs and
monitoring infrastructure; compiled a
comprehensive report on environmental
and socio-economic conditions of the
Coos estuary; and conducted an
educational market analysis and needs
assessment to understand current needs
of teachers and underserved audiences.
Additionally, the reserve has developed
a disaster response plan, restoration
action plan, and improved public access
to the reserve through construction of a
new non-motorized boat launch areas
and enhanced trails.
There will be no boundary change
with the approval of the revised
management plan. The management
plan will serve as the guiding document
for the 4,771-acre South Slough Reserve.
