Directs the Partnership to submit to the Secretary of the Interior a management plan (the "Plan"), which shall contain recommendations and strategies for the conservation, funding, management, and development of the Area. Directs the Secretary to approve or disapprove of the Plan, and of a revised Plan if the original one is not approved. Requires the Secretary to consider amendments to the Plan for approval. Authorizes the Partnership to make loans and grants to and enter into cooperative agreements. Directs the Partnership, among other activities, to: (1) implement the Plan; (2) conduct public meetings in the Area; and (3) provide assistance to units of government, nonprofit organizations, and persons in protecting the Area's resources and developing recreational and educational opportunities in the Area. Prohibits the Partnership from using Federal funds to acquire real property or interest in real property.
