MBNMS Webpage History and Development

September, 1992 - MBNMS Designated - As a condition of the MBNMS designation document and Management Plan, it was intended that one of the first goals of the MBNMS program would be to create a "Site Characterization" document. Such a document would be an in-depth description of the environment, ecology, history and social settings of the MBNMS. Creation of such a document was desired by the local research and education community.
