Every unit of the national park system has a foundational document that provides basic guidance for planning and management decisions—a foundation for planning and management. The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park as well as the park’s purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, and interpretive themes. The foundation document also includes special mandates and administrative commitments, an assessment of planning and data needs that identifies planning issues, planning products to be developed, and the associated studies and data required for park planning. Reading through Castle Clinton's foundation document can help the general public better understand the significance of the national monument and provide context for how the site is managed.
