How do the conservation groups sponsoring this website assess the proposed Cape Hatteras beach-driving rules released by the National Park Service on March 5, 2010?
Conservation groups are preparing comments on the proposed rules released by the National Park Service to govern off-road vehicle use at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in an effort to balance the interests of ORV enthusiasts with the park service’s primary responsibility to preserve the seashore’s natural resources, including rare sea turtles, birds, and their young, for present and future generations.[1] The preferred alternative announced March 5, 2010 falls short of the basic minimum protective measures needed for birds and sea turtles and falls short of the U.S. Department of Interior’s own scientists’ recommendations regarding the measures needed to protect wildlife within the national seashore. We believe that the final plan needs to better reflect these values: (1) equal access to the beach for all users including non-motorized users, (2) recreational use must be consistent with protection of natural resources, (3) wildlife management must be based on the best available science
