General Management Plan

Canaveral National Seashore » General Management Plan » Document List

Dear Friends of Canaveral National Seashore,

I am very pleased to announce the release of the Final General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for Canaveral National Seashore. It is the culmination of a great deal of time, energy, and input from members of the public, other agencies, and the National Park Service. This final general management plan provides comprehensive guidance for perpetuating natural systems, preserving cultural resources, and providing opportunities for high-quality visitor experiences for the next 20 years. Its purpose is to decide how the National Park Service can best fulfill the national seashore's mission, maintain its significance, and protect is resources unimpaired for the enjoyment of present and future generations.

Under the preferred alternative, the national seashore would be managed to preserve and enhance the natural and historic landscape features associated with the national seashore's eastern Florida coastal barrier island system. Emphasis would be placed on retaining the national seashore's relatively undeveloped character, providing uncrowded experiences, and enhancing educational opportunities and programs for visitors.

The final general management plan is now available by clicking the "document list" tab on the left side of this web page. A limited number of paper copies and CDs will also available upon request by contacting the national seashore using the address or phone number below.

Your input was instrumental in the planning process. The National Park Service values the public's interest in Canaveral National Seashore, and we look forward to implementing the plan with your support and collaboration.

Sincerely,

Myrna Palfrey
Superintendent
