Abstract

Since the designation of the USS Monitor as NOAA’s first National Marine Sanctuary in 1975, the National Marine Sanctuary System has grown to manage 15 marine protected areas. The management of the sanctuaries has always complied with laws, regulations, and guidelines as coordinated by the National Park Service’s Federal Archaeological Program. This discussion describes NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries’ programmatic implementation of a “Maritime Cultural Landscape” approach to interpreting and understanding the maritime heritage of the regions associated with the national marine sanctuaries.
