Record of Decision for the General 

Management Plan: Gulf Islands 

National Seashore, Florida and 

Mississippi 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) announces the availability of the 

Record of Decision (ROD) for the 

General Management Plan (GMP) for 

Gulf Islands National Seashore 

(National Seashore). On September 11, 

2014, the Regional Director, Southeast 

Region, approved the ROD for the 

project. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Superintendent Dan Brown, Gulf 

Islands National Seashore, 1801 Gulf 

Breeze Parkway, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563; 

or via telephone at (850) 934–2600. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS 

evaluated four alternatives for managing 

use and development of the national 

seashore in the GMP Final 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Alternative 1—no action. 

Alternative 2—The National Seashore 

would be managed to adapt to the wild 

and dynamic processes of the northern 

Gulf Coast while providing seashore 

recreational and educational 

opportunities. The level of 

infrastructure to support visitor services 

on barrier island areas would be 

adapted or removed as the environment 

changes over time. 

Alternative 3 (NPS preferred 

alternative)—the National Seashore 

would be managed as an outdoor 

classroom for exploring the natural and 

human history of the northern Gulf 

Coast while providing seashore 

recreational opportunities. 

Collaboration and cooperation between 

a consortium of academia, visiting 

scientists, conservation organizations, 

and other agencies would be actively 

pursued to enhance resource 

management, stewardship, and 

understanding of the northern gulf 

coastal environment. 

Alternative 4—The NPS would seek 

to collaborate and expand partnerships 

with educational and cultural 

institutions, nonprofit organizations, 

and commercial service providers to 

promote a greater array of National 

Seashore recreational and educational 

opportunities among a variety of coastal 

settings. 

The ROD announces that the NPS has 

selected alternative 3, and the NPS will 

immediately begin to implement that 

alternative as the GMP. The GMP will 

guide the management of the national 

monument over the next 20+ years. 

The responsible official for this FEIS/ 

GMP is the Regional Director, NPS 

Southeast Region, 100 Alabama Street 

SW., 1924 Building, Atlanta, Georgia
