Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Study Area Profile

Study area profiles provide information on the local community and economy of national marine sanctuaries. The majority of the data is sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other federal and state agency data sets, such as the National Park Service and state natural resource agencies. Further, some data on local, marine-dependent recreation businesses may be gleaned from the internet. These reports are used to understand the communities that are closest to the sanctuaries, identify how they may depend on marine resources, and determine who may be impacted by a new sanctuary or regulatory/policy changes. Information in these reports includes population, population density, population growth, other socio-demographic data, unemployment rates, income by place of work/residence, visitation to existing parks and facilities (museums, lighthouses, and aquariums), and data on marine recreation businesses. 2021 National Marine Sanctuary Study Area Profile Environmental Impact Statements Visitation Demographics Population Local and Regional Economies NOS (National Ocean Service) ONMS (Office of National Marine Sanctuaries) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/th02-qn69 Public Domain 1935
