Visitor Use Management Plan

Read the Visitor Use Management plan and provide comments.

A visitor use management plan for Cumberland Island National Seashore was open for public review and comment Oct 28, 2022 - Dec 30, 2022. The National Park Service staff at the park, regional office, and Denver Service Center developed the plan to thoughtfully determine appropriate opportunities for visitors to use, experience, and enjoy the park while protecting the area’s sensitive wildlife, ecosystems, historic buildings, cultural landscapes, and other resources.

The objective of the plan is to provide park visitors, including those who have been historically disadvantaged and unable to visit, with opportunities to be inspired through personal connections with the natural wonders, special places, and important stories the park protects.

The next step is to analyze and review the public comments received. Comment analyzing and any changes to the plan is anticipated in the summer of 2023.
