Nominating MPAs to the National System of Marine Protected Areas
MPA programs are invited to nominate their eligible sites to be part of the national system of MPAs. The national system of MPAs is the group of MPA sites, networks and systems established and managed by all levels of government that collectively enhance conservation of the nation’s natural and cultural marine heritage and represent its diverse ecosystems and resources. Although managed independently, national system MPAs work together at the regional and national levels to achieve common objectives for conserving the nation’s important natural and cultural resources. The national system does not bring state, territorial or local sites under federal authority, nor does it restrict or change the management of any MPA. For questions on the nomination process, contact Lauren.Wenzel@noaa.gov.Entry Criteria
