The selection was announced by President Barack Obama as part of a video message shared during the annual "Our Ocean" global conference being hosted this year in Valparaiso, Chile. "This represents an extraordinary milestone for all Wisconsinites in our collective effort to bring a National Marine Sanctuary to the central shores of our state," stated City of Port Washington Mayor Tom Mlada. "We are immensely grateful to our partners at NOAA for advancing our nomination and moving us closer to final designation." "Our four communities have worked extremely hard in partnering on this effort and best position us for eventual success, engaging with core staff from the Wisconsin State Historical Society and Wisconsin Coastal Management Program," said City of Sheboygan Mayor Mike Vandersteen. "Working together, we've prepared and submitted a very robust nomination." The regional nomination as submitted to NOAA detailed a proposed 875- square mile area National Marine Sanctuary, stretching from Port Washington to Two Rivers. The Sanctuary would be only the second in the Great Lakes and the 14th in the United States. It would contain 39 known shipwrecks, including the two oldest shipwrecks in Wisconsin and 15 intact shipwrecks (three with standing masts). Fifteen of the 39 shipwrecks are on the National Register of Historic Places. "A National Marine Sanctuary in our Mid-Lake Continues Page 6
