This final management plan and environmental impact statement is dedicated to the memories of Secretary Ron Brown and George Barley. Their dedicated work furthered the goals of the National Marine Sanctuary Program and specifically the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. "We must continue to work together- inspired by the delight in a child's eye when a harbor seal or a gray whale is sighted, or the wrinkled grin of a fisherman when the catch is good. We must honor the tradition of this land's earliest caretakers who approached nature's gifts with appreciation and deep respect. And we must keep our promise to protect nature's legacy for future generations."
