Summary
NOAA proposes to designate the Mallows Bay-Potomac River as a National Marine Sanctuary in the state of Maryland. The designation is expected to help conserve at-risk, nationally-significant shipwrecks and associated maritime heritage resources through the promulgation regulations and development of a management plan that includes both regulatory and non-regulatory actions.
