Info

ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT: This document includes two distinct elements: 1) the Tomales Bay Vessel Management Plan (TBVMP), and 2) the accompanying Environmental Assessment/Initial Study (EA/IS) as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The environmental impact assessment portion of the document can be found in Appendix I, directly following the TBVMP, however the EA/IS draws from and refers to the background information and other materials included throughout the TBVMP. This document also includes the proposed Tomales Bay Mooring Program (Appendix V), which provides specific criteria for where moorings are allowed on the bay, introduces mandatory specifications for mooring tackle, and lays out requirements for the inspection and maintenance of moorings. The TBVMP was prepared by Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS) and California State Lands Commission (CSLC), in collaboration with the Tomales Bay Interagency Committee (TBIC). The TBIC includes the following agencies: • California Coastal Commission • California Department of Boating and Waterways • California Department of Fish and Game • California Department of Public Health • California Department of Transportation • California State Lands Commission • California State Parks • Marin County and Marin County Sheriff’s Office • NOAA’s Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary • National Park Service, Point Reyes National Seashore • State Water Resources Control Board and Regional Water Quality Control Boards GFNMS and CSLC would like to thank the GFNMS Advisory Council Working Group on Tomales Bay Vessel Management for its contribution to the final recommendations from the GFNMS Advisory Council. This working group consisted of the following participants: • Dominique Richard, Chair, GFNMS Advisory Council • Colin Smith, National Park Service • Nanci Smith, State Lands Commission • Tom Moore, Dept. of Fish and Game • Jerry Abbot, Inverness Yacht Club • Mark Bartolini, Tomales Bay Boaters Association • George Clyde, East Shore Planning Group • John Finger, Hog Island Oyster Company • Fred Smith, Environmental Action Committee of West Marin • Gordon Bennett, Sierra Club • Willy Vogler, Lawson’s Landing August 23, 2012 2
