Benchmark: Proposed Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary Course

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the Proposed Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary.

What you’ll get from this benchmark:
– A quick read on your grasp of why NOAA is proposing the sanctuary now—its intent, scope, and what problems it is meant to solve
– A sense of how designation could change operations for vessels, researchers, and fishers (reporting, discharge, access, and permitting)
– A check on how co-management with Hawaiʻi and Native Hawaiian partners affects decisions, equity, and cultural access
– Clarity on how to engage effectively—what kinds of public comments actually influence boundaries, activities, and management

If you find several questions uncertain or surprising, you’ll likely benefit from the full course’s plain-language walkthrough of the DEIS, proposed regulations, and co-management approach. If you score well, the course can still help you validate assumptions, navigate permits, and target your public comments where they’ll matter most.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
