revised plan will replace the plan previously approved in 2010. NOAA

    The revised management plan outlines a strategic plan;

administration and its core programs, providing detailed actions that 
will enable it to accomplish specific goals and objectives. Since the 
last management plan, the reserve has built out its core research 
programs and monitoring infrastructure; conducted an educational market 
analysis and needs assessment to understand current needs of teachers 
and underserved audiences; updated the coastal training program 
strategy and expanded the program partnerships, expanded stewardship 
program and developed resource management plans.
