Management Plan Revisions

A sanctuary management plan guides a site’s activities and is reviewed every five years. Management plans associated with a sanctuary’s designation or expansion are found in the “Sanctuary Designations and Expansions” section of the Environmental Compliance page. Management plan revisions issued outside of these actions are found on this page.
