The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gives you the right to access any Cape Hatteras National Seashore, National Park Service, or Department of the Interior records unless the information in those records is protected by one or more of the nine exemptions (reasons an agency may withhold records from a requester) and there is a sound legal basis to withhold them.
If you are seeking general information about Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the information you are seeking may already be available via the internet, on this website, at park visitor centers, or by simply calling the park at 252-473-2111 or emailing your question to the park.
If you are requesting specific park records, you will need to submit a FOIA request via FOIA.gov, the government's central website for FOIA. Our responsibility is to provide you with copies of the documents you are entitled to receive under the law. We want to work with you to achieve that goal.
