Wilderness pond in Yosemite's high country.

Public Scoping Period

The National Park Service (NPS) conducted public scoping from June 23 to July 25, 2008 as part of the early development of the Aquatic Plan Environmental Assessment (Aquatic Plan EA).

The purpose of the Aquatic Plan is to guide management actions by the NPS in order to protect Yosemite’s diverse aquatic ecosystems and to restore natural composition, structure and function to aquatic ecosystems that have been disturbed by past or ongoing human activities.

During public scoping, the NPS sought comments from members of the public in order to understand the spectrum of concerns, interests, and issues that need to be addressed as part of the planning process.

A Public Scoping and Concern Screening Report was prepared by park staff to analyze the content of the comments received and to inform the development of this plan. Click below to view this report.
