3. The purpose of the proposed 

 Stellwagen Bank National Marine 

 Sanctuary is to provide long-term 

 protection and management for the 

 nationally-significant marine re- 

 sources found within the Bank system. 

 To the extent they are compatible with 

 the overall objective of resource pro- 

 tection, human activities within the 

 Sanctuary are encouraged. National 

 marine sanctuaries are not closed to 

 the public.
