FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS










PACIFIC COAST NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY

Congress directed NOAA to develop a proposal for establishing a National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Washington by June 1990, but, NOAA has yet to issue its Draft EIS for this nomination.

Washington's coast possesses unmatched, nationally significant, pristine and productive marine resources, but this coast is threatened by proposed offshore oil development, ongoing tanker traffic and military bombing exercises.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges the Governor of Washington, Congress and NOAA to designate the Olympic Coast of Washington as a National Marine Sanctuary with boundaries from the Canadian border to Grays Harbor and seaward to the slope of the outer continental shelf, and to prohibit within these boundaries oil and gas development, to direct tanker traffic to be as far from shore as possible, and to case the bombing of Sea Lion Rocks.

c: Governor Booth Gardner of Washington.  Senators Slade Gorton & Brock Adams, Senate Building, Washington, DC 20510
