Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda District Storm Adaptive Management Plan
Canaveral NS » Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda District Storm Adaptive Management Plan
Canaveral National Seashore is developing a Storm Adaptive Management Plan for the Playalinda Beach district of the seashore. The plan will provide strategies for the management of infrastructure and sand while continuing to provide meaningful visitor experiences and protecting park resources. Management concepts will consider strategic investment in and/or disinvestment of park infrastructure.
Recent storms and tidal events have caused significant damage to the district, eroding dunes that once protected inland areas and flooding roads and facilities. These impacts have led to prolonged closures and costly repairs and operational impacts, underscoring the need for a long-term strategy that anticipates future storms.
Through this planning process, the NPS will analyze options for storm-resilient strategies for the future of this district. The public is invited to participate in this effort and the NPS will provide opportunities to comment on the plan's progress through this website.
The park is currently welcoming comments on the draft plan/environmental assessment. It is available for review and comment under the "Open For Comment" tab to the left. A public meeting will be held to discuss the plan and answer questions on Tuesday, September 22. More information is available under the "Meeting Notices" tab.
Thank you for your interest in Canaveral National Seashore.
