ABSTRACT
The proposals presented and analyzed establish concepts for
possible future management directions for Boston Harbor Islands national
park area, consistent with National Park Service policies. The alternatives
make clear that adoption of the plan will not result in changes to the
resources so much as it will set policy-level direction for future decisions
to be made by the diverse agencies that cooperatively manage the park.
The primary action of the general management plan is to designate specific
“management areas” for each area of the park. These geographic
areas prescribe broad direction for resource management, visitor use,
and development of park facilities. The approach taken is general; the
plan is not detailed, specific, or technical in nature, nor are there
detailed or site-specific proposals to analyze. The plan calls for additional
environmental analysis when specific actions are proposed in the park.
Public and agency review and comment did not result in substantial modifications
to any of the alternatives or the environmental analysis presented in
the draft environmental impact statement, so an abbreviated format is
used for the final.
