      (a) Findings; Purposes.--
              (1) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
                      (A) Lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management 
                  in the San Juan Archipelago, Washington State, 
                  comprising nearly 1,000 acres of small islands, rocks 
                  and reef, headlands, historic lighthouses, and 
                  ecologically important areas are of great value to the 
                  people of Washington State and the Nation.
                      (B) These areas provide recreational opportunities 
                  for hiking, wildlife viewing, boating, picnicking, 
                  photography, sea kayaking, and camping and are enjoyed 
                  by residents of the area and visitors. In 2010, these 
                  lands in the San Juan Islands National Conservation 
                  Area received more than 65,000 visitors in a county 
                  with a population at that time of 15,769 residents.
                      (C) These areas preserve important local, national, 
                  and tribal cultural and historic sites. Lighthouses on 
                  Patos Island, Turn Point, and Cattle Point are 
                  registered as State Historic Structures. Numerous 
                  archaeological sites exist, including shell middens, 
                  plank-house sites, and burial markers. Areas of 
                  cultural importance include ancient Coast Salish camas 
                  cultivation sites, homesteads, reef-net sites, and 
                  settler cabins.
                      (D) These areas include vanishing coastal flower 
                  meadows, spruce bogs, groves of Garry oaks and endemic 
                  coastal junipers, and other rare and fragile ecosystems 
                  that support numerous plant species and provide nesting 
                  habitat for seabirds, songbirds, bats, and other small 
                  native mammals.
                      (E) These areas are used by several non-profit, 
                  government, and educational organizations for 
                  scientific research and education, including the San 
                  Juan Islands Experimental Education Outdoor Classroom.
                      (F) Establishment of the San Juan Islands National 
                  Conservation Area is the best way to preserve, protect, 
                  enhance, and restore this local and nationally 
                  important landscape.
              (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
                      (A) to conserve, protect, and enhance for the 
                  benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations 
                  the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, 
                  cultural, historical, natural, educational, and 
                  scientific resources of the National Conservation Area; 
                  and
