Management Plan and the Delaware

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Estuarine Reserves Division, Office
of Ocean and Coastal Resource
Management, National Ocean Service,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce is announcing a thirty day
public comment period for the Grand
Bay, Mississippi National Estuarine
Research Reserve Management Plan and
the Delaware National Estuarine
Research Reserve Management Plan
revisions. Pursuant to 15 CFR Section
921.33(c), the revised plans will bring
the reserves into compliance. The Grand
Bay Reserve and Delaware Reserve
revised plans will replace the plans
approved in 1999 and 2004 respectively.
Both revised management plans outline
the administrative structure; the
research & monitoring, education,
training, and stewardship goals of the
reserve; and the plans for future land
acquisition and facility development to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

support reserve operations. The Grand
Bay Reserve takes an integrated
approach to management, linking
research, education, training and
stewardship functions to address high
priority issues including climate
change, threats to reserve resources and
ecological functions, watershed
development, and changes in water
quality. Since the last management plan,
the reserve has built out its core
programs and monitoring infrastructure;
constructed a L.E.E.D. certified Coastal
Resources Center that includes
laboratories, offices, classrooms,
interpretative areas and dormitories;
and created interpretive trails.
With the approval of this management
plan, the Grand Bay Reserve will
decrease their total acreage from 18,400
acres to 18,049. The change is
attributable to accuracy adjustments
based on improved geographic
information for the site. The revised
management plan will serve as the
guiding document for the 18,049 acre
Grand Bay Reserve for the next five
years. The Delaware management plan
will focus on improving the scientific
understanding of estuarine and coastal
ecosystems; improving public
awareness and environmental literacy to
enable environmentally sustainable
decision-making; and protecting,
managing and restoring the reserve to
serve as a model site for sustainable
community stewardship. Notable
changes in the revised plan include a
boundary expansion, a new coastal
training program, implementation of the
Blackbird Creek Reserve Master
Ecological Restoration Plan, the opening
of the Blackbird Creek Stewardship
Center and facility improvements to the
St. Jones Coastal Training Center. With
the approval of this management plan,
the Delaware Reserve will increase their
total acreage from 4,930 acres to 6,206.
The change is attributable to acquisition
of two parcels, totaling 64.3 acres, and
increased mapping accuracy. The two
parcels possess high ecological value
and increased opportunities for
research, education, and restoration.
The revised management plan will serve
as the guiding document for the 6,206
acre Delaware Reserve for the next five
years. View the Grand Bay, Mississippi
