  • Parked! How Congress' Misplaced Priorities Are Trashing Our National

    Parked! How Congress' Misplaced Priorities Are Trashing Our National

    Dear Taxpayer, Visitors to national parks have been threatened with trespassing charges, obstructed from paying their respects at a memorial to those who lost their lives in service to our country, and turned away from other National Park Service sites closed due to a lack of funding. All of this began occurring before the government shutdown in October. Perhaps more than any other part of the federal government, our National Park System has become the symbol of Washington, DC dysfunction. These cherished national treasures, which were entrusted to the National Park Service to be preserved and protected, have instead been neglected or abused for political gamesmanship. Long before the government shutdown and sequestration, congressional shortsightedness and bureaucratic mismanagement were already plaguing our national parks. Barricaded parks across the country exposed the calamity in Washington in 2013, but the National Park System has long been a microcosm of the irresponsible and misplaced priorities within the entire federal budget. Just as important programs like Medicare and Social Security have been raided for decades to pay for politicians’ pet projects, Washington has also plundered the National Park Service budget to create new parks and programs with little national significance. And as the lack of budget discipline has driven up the national debt and jeopardized the solvency of retirement programs and our nation’s future, the misplaced priorities within the parks budget are endangering the care of the very sites we all revere. Our elected representatives have been too focused on their own parochial political interests to see the state of disrepair that has befallen some of our greatest national treasures.

    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

    Section Vii Public Access Policies #19-20 & Recreation

    SECTION VII PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES #19-20 & RECREATION POLICIES #9, #21 & 22 Town of East Hampton LWRP Public Access and Recreation Policies #9 &19-22 A. INTRODUCTION Public access to the water and the recreation activity it affords is critical to East Hampton Town's resort economy. The tourist, second home and real estate industries stem directly from the attractions of coastal recreation, which takes place on public beaches and in public waters. Fishing, boating and the myriad of other activities are supported by an array of local enterprises, marina and charter boat operations, boat rentals, fishing tackle and sporting goods shops, which depend on the ecology, natural bounty and scenic beauty of public coastal resources. Maintaining water quality, fisheries productivity, beaches, wetlands, etc. are vital not only for the intrinsic value of the resources, but also for their ripple effect through the economy. The value of public access and coastal recreation goes beyond their economic worth -- it is the primary incentive for visiting and living in East Hampton. Coastal based recreation goes on in every reach of the Town's coastal zone, from passive, non- consumptive pastimes like photography and nature walks, to active, consumptive uses like fishing and hunting. The coast is not only a setting for active recreation, the harmony of nature and vistas of open space are themselves re-creation and relaxation for the mind, healing balm for the frenetic pace of life. The sea and its proximity, the inlets, bays, beaches and marshes attract the eye with unbroken expanses, infusing the spirit. While this LWRP section examines public access and recreational infrastructure, it is important to recall the visual and scenic context of these facilities and their tangible benefits to quality of life.
