Notice is hereby given that
the Office for Coastal Management,
National Ocean Service, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce approves the revised
management plan for the Kachemak Bay
National Estuarine Research Reserve in
Alaska. In accordance with applicable
Federal regulations, the University of
Alaska—Anchorage’s Alaska Center for
Conservation Science revised the
reserve’s management plan, which
replaces the plan previously approved
in 2012.

to a reserve’s management plan may be
made only after receiving written
approval from NOAA. NOAA approves
changes to management plans via notice
in the Federal Register.
On May 27, 2021, NOAA issued a
notice in the Federal Register
announcing a 30-day public comment
period for the proposed revision of the
management plan for the Kachemak Bay
National Estuarine Research Reserve (86
FR 28576). Responses to written and
oral comments received, and an
explanation of how comments were
incorporated into the final version of the
revised management plan, are available
in appendix D of the plan.
The management plan outlines the
reserve’s strategic goals and objectives;
administrative structure; programs for
conducting research and monitoring,
education, and training; resource
protection, restoration, and
manipulation plans; public access and
visitor use plans; consideration for
future land acquisition; and facility
development to support reserve
operations. Since 2012, the reserve has
undergone a significant State agency
administration transition from the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s
Division of Sport Fish to the University
of Alaska-Anchorage’s Alaska Center for
Conservation Science. With the
administrative transition, the reserve
staff and programs have relocated from
the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor
Center to the reserve’s field station
modular office and bunkhouse. Due to
the change in facilities, some of the
education and training programs have
changed, but many of the core research,
monitoring, education, and training
activities have remained the same. The
revised management plan, once
approved, would serve as the guiding
document for the 372,000-acre
Kachemak Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve for the next five years.
NOAA reviewed the environmental
impacts of the revised management plan
and determined that this action is
categorically-excluded from further
analysis under the National
Environmental Policy Act, consistent
with NOAA Administrative Order 216–
6.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.; 15
