| E8-29832 | Changes to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Regulations; Technical Corrections and Minor Substantive Changes | Proposed Rule | NOAA proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to make technical corrections and modifications to clarify intent to several areas in the regulations. As part of these modifications, NOAA proposes to amend the definition of coral to specifically include the common sea fan, Gorgonia ventalina and Venus sea fan, Gorgonia flabellum, which are both important sanctuary resources and are currently managed under the category "live rock;" specify that "touching" coral is an injury and therefore, a prohibited activity in the FKNMS; amend the safe distance between vessels and "divers down" flags to be 100 yards instead of 100 feet; clarify that the prohibitions listed for Sanctuary Preservation Areas and Ecological Reserves also apply in Research-only Areas; and Correct several citations that are currently out of date. | 2008-12-19 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/19/E8-29832/changes-to-the-florida-keys-national-marine-sanctuary-regulations-technical-corrections-and-minor | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-19/pdf/E8-29832.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NOAA proposes to amend the regulations implementing the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to make technical corrections and modifications to clarify intent to several areas in the regulations.
