Assateague National Seashore GMP up for comment

"Assateague National Park General Management Plan is up for
renewal, and now is the time to let the National Park Service know that you
would like a area of the park to be dedicated as clothing optional, as it had
been for many years. The General Management Plans are updated very rarely,
usually every 20 years, so now is the time to act since their plan is up for
renewal, and public input is critical.
"It is important to let the NPS know that there are thousands
of naturists from all over the country who would love to have a portion of the
park available to naturists to enjoy, and that thousands of naturists spend
hours on the roads to far distant naturist beaches which could be avoided if
there were a naturist beach close to the Washington, DC area.
l"The following is from the NPS website and the links to the
comment area are on the pages linked from this message.
l"All National Parks are required to have an approved General
Management Plan (GMP) that will act as a guide for making management decisions
over the next 20 years. Public input is essential throughout all phases of the
development process. Assateague's new GMP will provide a framework to guide
decisions for natural and cultural resource protection, appropriate types and
levels of visitor activities, and appropriate facility development. The plan
will articulate the park's mission, purpose, and significance, and define the
resource conditions and visitor experiences that should be achieved and
maintained over time. The plan will consider Assateague both as a unit of the
National Park system and in a broader ecosystem context that includes the
surrounding region. Superintendent Trish Kicklighter and NPS staff invite the
public to participate in developing this plan. We are interested in your
comments, questions and ideas for the future of Assateague Island National
Seashore. Here are two ways to send us your comments:
- Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) is a web-based system that
has been created for and adopted by the National Park Service to be used
nationwide. This system will allow people to gain access to current plans and
related documents that are available for review and open for comment. a id="https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?parkId=207&projectId=26140|" href="https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?parkId=207&projectId=26140"Public
comments can be submitted through the PEPC system./a The public will also be
able to access schedules for particular projects as well as specific
information about public meetings.
- The park will also accept comments from the public by mail, fax, and e-mail.
Mail or fax this comment form to us. You can also e-mail
us.

So if you are among the many naturists in the DC area who
would like a naturist beach close by and not have to venture to Sandy Hook or
Haulover to get naked on the beach, now is the time to act by writing and
taking an active interest in the new Assateague General Management Plan.
