Environmental Assessment - Proposed Marine Research and Education Center and Abandoned Hotel Demolition
The purpose of the project is to develop a Marine Research and Education Center (MREC) within the park boundaries, and to demolish and remove an abandoned hotel structure from the east side of the park. The two proposed actions will benefit the island community for years to come by providing additional educational and job opportunities, improved wildlife habitat, accessible recreational opportunities, and by providing a better understanding of our natural and cultural resources.
As part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, alternatives for the two proposed actions were evaluated in this EA. This EA presents the existing conditions at the park, potential environmental and human impacts from the proposed actions, compliance with environmental regulations, and the agency and public consultation/coordination conducted to support these projects.
