SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS/GMP responds to, and incorporates
agency and public comments received
on the Draft EIS/GMP and Supplemental
Draft EIS/GMP. The Draft EIS/GMP was
available for public review from August
19, 2011, through October 31, 2011, and
the Supplemental Draft EIS/GMP was
available for public review from
November 14, 2013, through February
20, 2014.
Regarding the Draft EIS/GMP, the NPS
published newsletters and held multiple
rounds of public meetings between 2001
and 2011 to keep people informed and
involved in the planning process. The
public was asked to provide comments
throughout the development of the draft
plan through three primary avenues—
participation in public meetings,
responses to newsletters, and comments
on the NPS planning Web site. During
the August 2011, public comment
period, approximately 18,000 comments
were received.
Due to concerns raised on the Draft
EIS/GMP, the NPS undertook an
evaluation process to consider a number
of management actions that could be
enacted to better achieve its objective of
providing a diversified visitor use
experience. Several public meetings
were held and additional consultations
were conducted with federal and state
authorities, resulting in the release of
the Supplemental Draft EIS/GMP.
Approximately 14,000 pieces of
correspondence were received on the
Supplemental Draft EIS/GMP,
containing approximately 1,800
comments. The NPS responses to
substantive agency and public
comments are provided in Chapter 5 of
the Final EIS/GMP, Consultation and
Coordination section.
Presented in the Final EIS/GMP is the
final NPS preferred alternative
(alternative 8) as well as alternatives 1
through 5 from the 2011 Draft Plan and
alternatives 6 and 7 from the 2013
Supplemental Plan.
• Alternative 1 (no action) consists of
existing park management and trends
and serves as a basis for comparison in
evaluating the other alternatives.
• Alternative 2 would emphasize the
recreational use of the park while
providing resource protection as
governed by law, policy, or resource
sensitivity. This concept would be
accomplished by providing a high level
of services, facilities, and access to
specific areas of the park.
• Alternative 3 would allow all
visitors a full range of visitor

experiences throughout most of the park
and would use a permit system to
authorize a limited number of visitors to
access some areas of the park.
Management actions would provide
strong natural and cultural resource
protection and diverse visitor
experiences.
• Alternative 4 would emphasize
strong natural and cultural resource
protection while providing a diversity of
visitor experiences. Some areas would
be reserved for focused types of visitor
use. A key component of this alternative
was a marine reserve zone where fishing
would be prohibited to enhance the
quality and type of visitor experience
and improve the condition of coral reefs
condition by increasing its resiliency to
other impacts.
• Alternative 5 would promote the
protection of natural resources,
including taking actions to optimize
conditions for protection and
restoration. A permit system would be
used in some parts of the park to
provide specific experiences.
• Similar to alternative 4, alternatives
6 and 7 would emphasize strong natural
and cultural resource protection while
providing a diversity of visitor
experiences. Alternatives 6 and 7
include a special recreation zone that
would be managed as part of an
adaptive management strategy to
achieve the goal of a healthier coral reef
ecosystem within the zone to provide a
more enjoyable and diverse visitor
experience, including fishing.
• The final NPS preferred alternative
(alternative 8) would support strong
natural and cultural resources
protection while providing improved
opportunities for quality visitor
experiences. This alternative is a hybrid
of alternatives 4 and 6 and combines the
‘‘no fishing’’ marine reserve zone with
other management zones described in
alternative 6.
When approved, the plan will guide
the management of the national park
over the next 15 to 20 years.

EIS/GMP is the Regional Director, NPS
