Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS)
Over 300 miles shoreline
5,322 sqmiles ocean, 25 miles from shore on av.
Max depth 10,633 feet
~ 3 million people living within 50 miles of shore



MBNMS management plan review
Revision of original plan, adopted with sanctuary designation in 1992
Extensive public input (20 public meetings, over 12,000 written comments, 20 SAC meetings, 68 working group meetings)
23 action plans guiding MBNMS over the next 5 years
Four main themes:
Coastal development
Ecosystem protection
Water quality
Wildlife disturbance

MBNMS management plan review

25 action plans guiding MBNMS over the next 5 years
Most within four main themes:
Coastal development
Ecosystem protection
Water quality
Wildlife disturbance

Two additional sections addressing how sanctuary functions and operate
Partnerships and opportunities
Operation and Administration

Five cross-cutting plans in conjunction with Cordell Bank and Gulf of the Farallones



MBNMS management action plans

Most work to be accomplished crosses many jurisdictions and exceeds resources of any one agency

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS)
Most significant industries: tourism, agriculture, commercial fisheries
Tourism: total travel-spending revenue $5.9 billions in 2003
Agriculture: valued $3.6 billions in 1999
Also: aquaculture, kelp harvesting, sand mining, commercial shipping
Fishing inductry relatively small oprtion of overall economy. $16.6 million in 2003. >80% commercial landings: squid, rockfish, Dover sole, anchovy, mackarel, sardines, sablefish, albacore, salmon

MBNMS
Primary objective of resource protection

EBM as a framework for addressing long-term protection of wide range of living and non-living resources

Allow multiple uses of the sanctuary that are compatible with resource protection



MBNMS management action plans

Most work to be accomplished crosses many jurisdictions and exceeds resources of any one agency

MBNMS staff worked with SAC to identifypriorities, under different funding scenarios

Implementation different action plans will occur in different stages bed on urgency, expected benefits,a nd resource availability




MBNMS management action plans


Highest priority:

Integrated monitoring network (SIMON)
MPAs
Performance evauation
Interpretative facilities
Beach closures and microbial contamination
Implementation of water quality protection program

Implementation of water quality protection program
Integrated monitoring network (SIMON)
MPAs
Performance evaluation

Needs


Systematic approach to prioritization

Application of system model and decision analysis approach to examine outcomes of different management actions from both biological and socioeconomic standpoints: case studies (small pelagics-marine mammals; diving-fishing, MPAs; beach closures; rocky shore uses and impacts)

Needs


Systematic approach to prioritization (e.g., aggregate model that would help them to evaluate the relative costs and benefits of focusing on different issues or services, based on the relative uncertainty, value, potential to effect change)

Application of system model and decision analysis approach to examine outcomes of different management actions from both biological and socioeconomic standpoints: case studies (small pelagics-marine mammals; diving-fishing, MPAs; beach closures; rocky shore uses and impacts)




Needs


Identify the ecosystem components that are involved in or affected by the management issues that were identified as top priorities within the management plan (e.g., network model).
