| Abstract | During the summer of 1996, I had the opportunity to do an internship with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) at Lower Key Office, Key West, Florida. Established in November 1990 under the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Protected Act, the FKNMS is a federal agency managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and responsible for the stewardship of marine resources located within the 2,800 square nautical miles surrounding the Florida Keys. As conservation and exploitation collide, serious problems and conflicts emerge. As a result, the FKNMS must be prepared to tackle these issues strategically and comprehensively. To this end, the FKNMSPA requires that the Sanctuary be operated under a comprehensive management plan. This plan is composed of 10 management techniques handling different management issues including the Education and Outreach Action Plan (EOAP). This report provides an overview of the EOAP as well as offers an evaluation of its effectiveness based upon its policy and plan. The evaluation criteria were developed by Sabatier and Mazmanian (1983), "Can Regulations Work? The Implementation of the 1972 California Coastal Commission." Recommendations are also provided as guidelines to improve the current perlormance of the EOAP. |
