Summary

This Environmental Assessment (EA) describes and analyzes the setting in which Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary’s (OCNMS) management plan will be updated and implemented. This EA focuses on those resources most likely to be affected by specific actions and regulatory changes being considered in the management plan review alternatives. OCNMS’ original Final Environmental Impact Statement/Management Plan (NOAA, 1993) also contains an in-depth affected environment chapter, which is incorporated here by reference. The more recent OCNMS Condition Report (ONMS, 2022) is also incorporated by reference.
