MRP User Capacity Workshop
Biking and boating are just two of the many activities that visitors enjoy along the Merced River. This workshop will outline how the National Park Service will meet Wild and Scenic River Act requirements to address user capacity, or the kinds and amounts of visitor use that can be accommodated in the Merced River corridor without negatively affecting river values. Foundational aspects of this process will be discussed along with engaging the public in first hand case examples. Relevant science and information will be brought to bear on this important topic to illustrate how user capacity will be addressed the planning effort.
