Commercial Filming and Still Photography Permits
National park lands were created in order to conserve and protect areas of beauty and grandeur, historical importance, and uniqueness for future generations.

The National Parks of New York Harbor permit commercial filming and still photography when it is consistent with the park's mission and will not harm the resource or interfere with the visitor experience
