the original agency preferred alternative,
such as continued pursuit of a visitor
center partnership in the Miami area,
except that instead of including a
marine reserve zone, the alternatives
include a new concept referred to as a
special recreation zone. In developing
the two new alternatives, the NPS and
partner agencies are pursuing a new and
novel approach to managing special
marine ecosystems in a way that seeks
to accomplish the same goals as a
marine reserve while accommodating
recreational fishing and providing a
more enjoyable and diverse visitor
experience. The two alternatives are
described in detail in chapter 2 of the
Supplemental Draft EIS. Chapter 4
describes the key impacts of
implementing each of the two
alternatives.
In alternative 6 (the new agency
preferred alternative), the special
recreation zone would include the
following activities and limitations:
Fishing would be allowed year-round,
with a special permit required for access
to fish recreationally. There would be
some zone-specific fishing restrictions
(e.g., no grouper or lobster take, no
spearfishing), but in general all other
state fishing regulations would apply.
There would be no commercial fishing
allowed in the special recreation zone,
with exception of the existing ballyhoo
lampara net fishery. Anchoring within
the zone would be prohibited; however
additional mooring buoys would be
added over time as needed to disperse
visitor use and improve the safety of
diving operations. Snorkeling and
diving would be encouraged, and
marine debris would be removed
throughout the zone to improve the
overall visitor experience for these
activities. Alternative 7 is similar to
alternative 6 in that it includes a special
recreation zone with many of the same
zone-specific fishing limitations.
Differing from alternative 6, alternative
7 would not require an access permit to
fish in the zone, but the area would be
closed to recreational fishing during the
summer months (June to September).
This period is when the coral reef
ecosystem is most stressed by warm
water conditions and would benefit
greatest from a respite in fishing
pressure.
Adaptive management would be used
in both new alternatives to guide longterm decision-making. Both alternatives
would employ a collaborative research
and monitoring program (10-year
Science Plan) to inform adaptive
management decisions. Under
alternative 6 only, in years three, five,
and eight, the NPS would evaluate effort
and take to determine if the original

assumptions are being met. Effort and
take, in this instance, refer to fishing
intensity and total harvest of fish in the
zone by permitted fishermen. If the
assumptions of effort and take are being
exceeded, a multi-agency team would
evaluate whether to reduce the number
of permits to be issued for following
years. For both Alternatives 6 and 7, a
multi-agency team would evaluate the
need for other management actions that
may be warranted to reduce recreational
impacts, through the adaptive
management process. Depending on
site-specific observations and concerns,
such actions might include adjustments
to the number and location of mooring
buoys, changes to public messaging and
law enforcement effort, and increased
effort to remove marine debris. For both
alternatives, a panel of experts would be
convened at years five and ten to
provide recommendations on the
Science Plan, the monitoring results,
and long-term management. After ten
years the NPS would consider
monitoring trends and panel
recommendations, and would consult
with state and federal agencies before
deciding whether to continue adaptively
managing visitor use in the special
recreation zone or implement a marine
reserve zone.
