The Marine National Monument Program coordinates the development of management plans, scientific exploration and research programs within the Marine National Monuments in the Pacific Islands Region. Under NOAA's existing authorities and the Antiquities Act, the Marine National Monument Program works with federal and regional partners and stakeholders to conserve and protect the marine resources in these large marine protected areas.
MISSON STATEMENT:

GOALS:
- 1. Collaboratively develop and adaptively manage governance structures for the Marine National Monuments.
- 2. Develop a program for scientific exploration and research.
