- Description
- Provide Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary with coastal signage. National Marine Sanctuaries were authorized by the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972. Through this act, the Secretary of Commerce can designate an area with significant cultural or biological resources as a Marine Sanctuary and provide these areas and their resources with special protection. Marine Sanctuaries are administered by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The goal of the National Marine Sanctuary System is to protect and manage these marine resources through research, education, and interpretation. The ONMS, has been given responsibility for the management and conservation of ecological, recreational, historic, cultural, aesthetic, scientific and educational resources within the waters of the designated National Marine Sanctuaries. Today, there are 13 National Marine Sanctuaries in the waters off the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts, in the Great Lakes and surrounding the Pacific Islands. Four of these National Marine Sanctuaries are located off the coast of California with offices in the following locations: Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (NMS): Santa Barbara and Oxnard, CA Cordell Bank NMS: Point Reyes National Seashore, CA Gulf of the Farallones NMS: San Francisco and Half Moon Bay, CA Monterey Bay NMS: Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Simeon, CA Among its missions, ONMS is required to educate the public, through various outreach activities, on the resources contained within the waters of the Sanctuaries. As part of its education program, NMSP has embarked on an initiative to develop, fabricate and install outdoor information and interpretive signage at all the Sanctuaries. In the case of California, all four Sanctuaries have developed a shared signage strategy to ensure a common look and feel to the signs as well as an integrated messaging approach along the coastline. These interpretive signs will be located at various public locations such as overlooks, beaches and other popular ocean-view sites that are managed by federal, state or private partners. The signs will provide information to the public about each sanctuary, their mission as well as the waters and environments they manage. This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $50,000
