San Juan Island National Monument RMP
Planning Update: The BLM has just released a report summarizing input it received during the winter and spring of 2016 on the management of human uses in the San Juan Islands.
The BLM is using this input to develop the range of potential approaches to human use management that will be considered in the draft plan, which the BLM expects to release for public review in the spring of 2017. The BLM will also consider input from this process when developing the proposed plan.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is developing a Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the San Juan Islands National Monument. Established by Presidential Proclamation in 2013, the San Juan Islands National Monument encompasses approximately 1,000 acres of public land spread across a uniquely beautiful archipelago of over 450 islands, rocks, and pinnacles.
The San Juan Islands National Monument RMP will guide the BLM's management of these spectacular lands in a manner that ensures the protection of their remarkable cultural, historic, and ecological values for the benefit of generations of Americans to come.
The San Juan Islands National Monument Advisory Committee (MAC) was chartered to provide information and advice on the development of the RMP. Click here to learn more about the MAC.
