ACTION ALERT: Save Lighthouse Beach - Fire Island NY

ACTION ALERT: You can make a difference!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT: Tell the National Park Service that you support the continued traditional clothing optional use of Lighthouse Beach, as well as other portions of the Fire Island National Seashore. We need you to register your support TODAY!
The National Park Service is currently in the process of updating its General Management Plan (GMP) for the Fire Island National Seashore. This "master plan" represents a guide for the management and operation of the Seashore for the next 15-20 years. NPS is considering four management alternatives, and is soliciting comments from the public regarding those alternatives and the proposed uses for the Fire Island National Seashore. From now through September 6th, you have the opportunity to help shape NPS policy for the coming decades!
YOUR INPUT IS CRITICAL AT THIS POINT TO ASSURE THAT THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE KEEPS THE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OPTIONAL USE OF PORTIONS OF THE FIRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE, INCLUDING LIGHTHOUSE BEACH, AS A PRIORITY IN ITS FUTURE MANAGEMENT PLANNING!

for more information about the General Management Plan and its four management alternatives.)
While none of the four management alternatives being put forth directly addresses clothing optional use on the beaches where it is currently accepted, it is critical that we insure that each of the alternatives under consideration includes keeping the traditional clothing optional use of these areas. We are told that opponents of clothing optional use are making their voices heard, and we need to show that it is vital that traditional clothing optional use be a priority for the future!
THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR THIS PROCESS ENDS AT 11:59 PM ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2010.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU WRITE OR EMAIL NPS BEFORE THIS DEADLINE TO TELL THEM THAT, WHICHEVER OF THE FOUR ALTERNATIVES IS CHOSEN, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MAINTAINS THE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OPTIONAL USE OF LIGHTHOUSE BEACH AND OTHER CURRENTLY CLOTHING OPTIONAL PORTIONS OF THE FIRE ISLAND NATIONAL SEASHORE BY THE DIVERSITY OF ITS RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT POPULATIONS, AS A PLANNING PRIORITY.
