This document is the revised final management plan and environmental assessment for the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The plan's primary goal is the protection of sanctuary resources, including the conservation of marine biodiversity within the sanctuary. The attendant sub-goals include protecting the sanctuary's ecological integrity while ensuring sustained provision of the sanctuary's environmental services. Befitting sanctuary status, the plan advocates a standard for conservation that is higher than may apply broadly throughout the whole Gulf of Maine.

"This final management plan serves as a non-regulatory policy framework for addressing the issues facing the sanctuary over the next five years. It identifies the need and lays the foundation for restoring and protecting the sanctuary's ecosystem. It provides strategic guidance for management actions and focuses those actions on four priority programmatic areas: capacity building, ecosystem protection, marine mammal protection and maritime heritage management."--Page i.
