Draft Revised Management Plan for the
Rookery Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve
Office for Coastal Management,

Commerce.
ACTION: Request for comments on draft
revised management plan.
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is
soliciting comments from the public
regarding a proposed revision of the
management plan for the Rookery Bay
National Estuarine Research Reserve. A
management plan provides a framework
for the direction and timing of a
reserve’s programs; allows reserve
managers to assess a reserve’s success in
meeting its goals and to identify any
necessary changes in direction; and is
used to guide programmatic evaluations
of the reserve. Plan revisions are
required of each reserve in the National
Estuarine Research Reserve System at
least every five years. This revised plan
is intended to replace the plan approved
in 2012.
DATES: Comments are due by April 13,
2022.
ADDRESSES: The draft revised
management plan is available at: https://
publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/CAMA/plans/
Rookery/Bay/NERR/Mgmt/Plan/DRAFT/
220127.pdf, or by emailing Matt Chasse
of NOAA’s Office for Coastal
Management at matt.chasse@noaa.gov.
Submit comments by the following
method:
Electronic Submission: Submit all
electronic public comments by email to
matt.chasse@noaa.gov. Include
‘‘Comments on the draft Rookery Bay
Management Plan’’ in the subject line of
the message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to 15 CFR 921.33(c), a state
must revise the management plan for
the research reserve at least every five
years. If approved by NOAA, the
Rookery Bay Reserve’s revised plan will
replace the plan previously approved in
2012.
The draft revised management plan
outlines the reserve’s strategic goals and
objectives; administrative structure;
programs for conducting research and
monitoring, education, and training;
resource protection, restoration,
volunteer, and communications plans;
prescribed fire and invasive species
plans; consideration for future land
acquisition; and facility development to
support reserve operations. In
particular, this draft revised
management plan focuses on building
upon past successes and
accomplishments. Research and
monitoring will focus on habitat
mapping, wildlife communities,
resource management and restoration,
coastal change and resilience, and
ecosystem services. Reserve education
programming will focus on informed
community and individual action as
related to ecosystems, human
connections, resilience, and outreach.
The reserve is also planning on
enhancing the use of technology in
education programming and on building
a robust interpretation program with
volunteer staff. Coastal training will
continue offering programs to
professional audiences and conduct an
updated needs assessment. The plan
also includes the reserve monitoring the
health of fish and bird communities,
invasive species control efforts, and the
use of prescribed fire as a management
tool. In addition, the reserve is
expecting to expand its strategic
partnership with Florida International
University.
Since 2012, the reserve has developed
a map of reserve habitats, installed
surface elevation tables in the
Henderson Creek area to support the
sentinel site program, and continued a
host of habitat and species monitoring
programs. The reserve has conducted
projects that assess and value freshwater
within the reserve supporting the
Collier County watershed improvement
plans and mangrove habitat restoration
efforts. A new partnership with Florida
International University is supporting
reserve staffing needs and various
research projects. Mangrove and
research symposiums hosted by the
reserve highlighted the diversity of
reserve activities and partnerships. Post
