During the public scoping meetings held in July and August, 2006, about 500 people shared their ideas, concerns and thoughts about the future management of Fire Island National Seashore.
In preparation for the park’s new General Management Planning (GMP) process, the park staff conducted a series of dialogues on critical park and community issues. Fire Island National Seashore launched the process during the summer of 2006, with public scoping meetings at the Ocean Beach Community House and Davis Park on July 29, and meetings at Sailors Haven, Watch Hill, Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines, Saltaire, and near the Fire Island Lighthouse on August 11-13, 2006.
