| Summary: | The Management Plan that follows was prepared pursuant to section 202(c)(1) of the designating Act. It describes the resources that currently exist within the ONA, past and present uses and how we arrived at the point we are today. Most importantly, it will guide the management of the ONA for the foreseeable future with over 40 actions that address a wide range of issues and needs. These actions were carefully and collaboratively developed by the Jupiter Inlet Working Group - a unique partnership of Federal, county, municipal and non-profit entities dedicated to this special site. The Plan strives to strike a balance between use and conservation, between public access and preservation of imperiled habitat, between recreational opportunities and protection of the sacred trust of the people that came before us. To meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, this document also contains an Environmental Assessment.
