NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Atlantic and Gulf Coasts Recreation Area Survey

The National Park Service is especially grateful to the anonymous donors, whose generosity made this Survey possible, and to the United States Coast Guard and its efficient and cooperative personnel for providing transportation, largely by helicopter, over the entire length of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The Service is indebted, too, to the many State park and planning officials who furnished consultative services and who, in many cases, took part in field investigations; to the Fish and Wildlife Service, Nature Conservancy, the Audubon Society and to the several universities and many individuals who extended their advice and assistance in the Survey.
