The Secretary must run Biscayne National Park under the general national park law. Fishing stays open under Florida law unless the Secretary limits it for conservation. The old Biscayne National Monument is abolished and folded into the new park.
(a) The Secretary must preserve and administer the park under the 1916 National Park Service Act, as amended. The park's waters stay open to fishing under Florida law, except the Secretary, after consulting the appropriate Florida officials, may designate species, areas, times, and methods where fishing is prohibited, limited, or otherwise regulated for sound conservation — but fishing on land Florida donates after this subchapter's effective date must always follow state law.
(b) The Biscayne National Monument, created by a 1968 law, is abolished, and all its land, water, and interests become part of the park. Any money available for the monument, and any funding previously authorized for it, becomes available for the park instead.
The Secretary shall preserve and administer the park in accordance with the provisions of the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535; 16 U.S.C. 1–4),1 as amended and supplemented. The waters within the park shall continue to be open to fishing in conformity with the laws of the State of Florida except as the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate officials of said State, designates species for which, areas and times within which, and methods by which fishing is prohibited, limited, or otherwise regulated in the interest of sound conservation to achieve the purposes for which the park is established: Provided, That with respect to lands donated by the State after the effective date of this subchapter, fishing shall be in conformance with State law.
The Biscayne National Monument, as authorized by the Act of October 18, 1968 (82 Stat. 1188; 16 U.S.C. 450qq), as amended, is abolished as such, and all lands, waters, and interests therein acquired or reserved for such monument are hereby incorporated within and made a part of the park. Any funds available for the purposes of such monument are hereby made available for the purposes of the park, and authorizations of funds for the monument shall continue to be available for the park.
