federally approved coastal management programs, addressing the national 
coastal management objectives identified in CZMA section 303(2)(A)-(K), 
and adhering to the programmatic terms of their financial assistance 
awards.
    Elkhorn Slough, Narragansett Bay, Sapelo Island, and Tijuana River 
NERRs were found to be adhering to programmatic requirements of the 
NERR System. Copies of these final evaluation findings may be obtained
