The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is holding public meetings to receive comments on its proposal to expand the boundaries of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) and revise the sanctuary's terms of designation.
The purpose of this action is to expand the sanctuary to include portions of 14 additional reefs and banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, representing a 104 square mile increase in area. The existing FGBNMS regulations would be applied to the expanded locations.
NOAA is soliciting public comment on the proposed rule electronically and via three (3) public meetings scheduled for June 2020. (Separate meeting notices for each meeting have been created on JCCRegs.)
