Big Cypress National Preserve
Commercial Services Plan

The Commercial Services Plan (CSP) provides the opportunity for establishing the types and levels of commercial activities necessary and/or appropriate for Big Cypress National Preserve. Commercial activities include concession services, museum association sales, and commercial use agreements which allow for "permitted" activity. The CSP is an implementation plan, establishing the most effective and efficient methods for the National Park Service (NPS) to manage those activities. This plan is developed with public input. The CSP must comply with applicable laws and policies and must be consistent with the management philosophies found in the preserve General Management Plan (GMP).
