General Management Plan
 General
Management Plan
The National Park Service along with park partners and
the public worked together for three years to develop
a general management plan for New Bedford Whaling National
Historical Park. A general management plan is just like
a master plan. It will lay out a vision for the future
of the park and provide a blueprint for park management
and development over the next 10 to 15 years. The plan
was adopted in October 2001.
