Outlined for each subject: an introduction describing the subject resource (illustrations and area maps) and its importance (ecological, cultural and economic); specific regulations (legal protections, permits, and penalties); and possible, recognized threats. Contact information is provided to report non-compliance, hazard response procedures, or other emergencies situations.
