In April 2019, in response to a community-based sanctuary nomination, NOAA announced its intent to designate a new national marine sanctuary in New York’s eastern Lake Ontario.
The proposed sanctuary would celebrate the area’s unique history and heritage and provide a national stage for promoting tourism and recreation.
NOAA welcomes your input about the proposal during the public comment period which ends tomorrow! To learn how you can submit your comments, visit: https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario/.
