ACTION: Notice of agency decision.
AGENCY:
The National Artificial Reef
Plan (NOAA Technical Memorandum,
NMFS OF–6) was originally published
in November 1985, in fulfillment of a
requirement under the National Fishing
Enhancement Act of 1984. NMFS
worked in partnership with the Atlantic
States Marine Fisheries Commission
and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries
Commission to update and revise this
plan. A revised version has been
completed, entitled the ‘‘National
Artificial Reef Plan (as Amended):
Guidelines for siting, construction,
development, and assessment of
artificial reefs.’’ This action is intended
to promote the goals and objectives
outlined in the National Fishing
Enhancement Act.
DATES: The revised National Artificial
Reef Plan (National Plan) was approved
on March 7, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ‘‘National
Artificial Reef Plan (as Amended):
Guidelines for siting, construction,
development, and assessment of
artificial reefs’’ are available from
Christopher M. Moore, Director of the
Partnerships and Communications
Division, Office of Sustainable
Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver

long-term National Artificial Reef Plan
to promote and facilitate responsible
and effective artificial reef use based on
the best scientific information available.
The National Plan provided guidance
on various aspects of artificial reef use,
including types of construction
materials, planning, siting, design, and
management of artificial reefs. This
document was general in its scope and
provided a framework for regional, state,
and local planners to develop more
detailed, site-specific artificial reef
plans to meet local needs and
conditions. The National Plan was
designed to be a dynamic working
document that would be updated as
new information became available.
Since 1985, new information and
research on artificial reefs have become
available. Accordingly, NMFS has
updated and revised the National Plan,
in cooperation with the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission and the
Gulf States Marine Fisheries
Commission. The National Plan was
initially revised with input from state
artificial reef programs and staff from
the interstate marine fisheries
commissions, the Minerals Management
Service, and the National Marine
Fisheries Service. The draft revision to
the 1985 National Artificial Reef Plan
was revised in response to comments
that were provided through internal
NOAA review and external review by
the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission and the Gulf States Marine
Fisheries Commission.
The interstate marine fisheries
commissions have been involved in the
development and review of this
document due to their extensive
involvement and experience with state
artificial reef management programs.
Most coastal states have coordinated
their artificial reef activities through the
respective interstate marine fisheries
commissions, and most interstate
commissions have established technical
advisory committees for marine
artificial reef development. These
committees are composed of the
coordinators of the state marine
artificial reef programs within the
respective state agencies responsible for
marine and coastal resources
management. Committee membership
also includes representatives from the
National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Minerals
Management Service, Environmental
Protection Agency, and Regional
Fishery Management Councils.
The revised National Plan provides
information on the roles of federal, state,
and local governments; interstate
marine fisheries commissions; Regional
Fishery Management Councils; and
PO 00000

private citizens in artificial reef
development. The document also
provides guidelines for siting, materials,
design, construction, and management
of artificial reefs; and information on
regulatory and permitting requirements,
liability issues, and research needs. The
revised National Plan also includes
updated information on artificial reef
activities and programs, and it
references other useful sources of
information for artificial reef
development. The most significant
changes occur in the section of the plan
dealing with materials for artificial reef
development. New language in the
revised National Plan is consistent with
the guidelines and recommendations of
the interstate marine fisheries
commissions and representatives of
state artificial reef programs relative to
artificial reef development.
