My guess would be the fishing crowd first then the divers. NOAA and the park service wants us to fight with each other so they can do what they want to do, it's called divide and conquer. The marine sanctuaries on the west coast have different levels of fishing restrictions even no fishing.
It was probably with good intentions to begin with to protect the Monitor like from damage from nets and souvenir hunters. Expanding the sanctuary has nothing to do with protecting the Monitor for sure, I believe it has to do with the creation of a fish sanctuary which is what the environmentalists want and are trying to turn them into on the west coast. I saw the interviews with the environmentalists on tv and at the time they were trying to push closing some of the marine sanctuaries down completely to all fishing for 5 to 10 years.
