Schmahl Sanctuary Superintendent Flower Garden Banks NMS 4700 Avenue U, Building 216 Galveston, TX 77551 Mr. Schmahl: We are writing to urge against the expansion of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Some of the expansion plans currently under consideration would increase the size of the sanctuary by up to 700% - potentially destroying jobs in the fishing and oil and natural gas industries. We need to focus our resources on protecting and preserving the existing sanctuary, a true national treasure, not on supporting a federal expansion that will negatively impact local economies throughout the region. Sincerely, The GREINER Family 4526 BLACK OAK WOODS SAN ANTONIO, TX 78249-5193"

Abstract
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has prepared a draft environmental impact statement for the proposed actions of boundary expansion, and application of existing regulations and management plan actions to new geographic areas of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS or sanctuary). The purpose of this action is to provide sanctuary protection for a number of nationally significant reefs and banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Five alternatives to implement these proposed actions are analyzed for impacts on the human environment. NOAA is soliciting public comment on the draft environmental impact statement.
