A National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Sheboygan, Kewaunee, Manitowoc and Ozaukee Counties is now all but official. Governor Evers on Tuesday announced that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – or NOAA – will publish the final rule for the designation of the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary today, and the sanctuary becomes a reality in another 45 days.
The main goal of the sanctuary is to protect the population of historic shipwrecks, many of them still well-preserved by the cold Lake Michigan waters. 25 of those wrecks are listed offshore of Sheboygan County.
Sheboygan itself is prominent in the website of the sanctuary, especially in the video that promotes the preserve.
