Dry Tortugas National Park is managed carefully to ensure the resources are protected and visitors have the best opportunities to experience the park as possible.

There are a limited number of commercial use authorizations issued each year who provide one or more of the following services 1) guided fishing trips, 2) dive and/or snorkeling trips, 3) guided wildlife viewing trips and 4) sailing charters to Dry Tortugas National Park during 2008/2009.

Included in these are the two ferry boat operators who provide daily access to the park.
