Several issues surround that possibility, including the potential size of such a\nmonument, whether provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA)\nmight preclude or limit such a designation, and how protections afforded by monument designation\nmight differ from current protection of the coastal plain.
