NOAA′s plans to install mooring buoys in the sanctuary during the summer of 2023 went unfulfilled because NOAA's partner organizations were unable to provide ship time for the buoy installation effort. On September 29, 2023, the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries extended the stay on the prohibition of grappling into or anchoring on shipwreck sites in the sanctuary from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2024, to allow an additional year to address public comments on the effect of the prohibition on commercial shipping and engage in outreach to educate the public on the location of shipwrecks and non-destructive means for mooring to them, as well as to delay the prohibition until after the installation of mooring buoys, which NOAA rescheduled for the summer of 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/09/29/2023-21648/designation-of-wisconsin-shipwreck-coast-national-marine-sanctuary-delay-of-effectiveness#:~:text=As%20discussed%20in%20the%20final%20rule%20(86%20FR%2032737%3B%20June,begin%20installing%20mooring%20buoys%2C%20and |title=Designation of Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary; Delay of Effectiveness |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=29 September 2023 |website=Federal Register |publisher=National Archives and Records Administration |access-date= 11 October 2023}}</ref> | NOAA′s plans to install mooring buoys in the sanctuary during the summer of 2023 went unfulfilled because NOAA's partner organizations were unable to provide ship time for the buoy installation effort.
