  • Canaveral National Seashore Greening Charrette January 18-20, 2005 Titusville, Florida Executive Summary
    Canaveral National Seashore Greening Charrette January 18-20, 2005 Titusville, Florida Executive Summary Canaveral National Seashore comprises 58,000 acres with 24 miles of undisturbed beaches as well as sand dunes, a diverse and productive estuary, hammocks of oaks with Spanish moss, and busy waterways. It is home to 1,045 species of plants and 310 species of birds; 14 wildlife species are federally listed as endangered or threatened. There are also sites of historic and archeological significance. Park visitation is 1.5 million annually. Users of the park include beach enthusiasts, recreational fishers, pleasure boaters, canoers and kayakers, and hikers as well as commercial fishing enterprises. Canaveral operates in close partnership with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The park has undertaken a number of greening activities, including use of green products and materials, recycling, adaptive reuse of structures, an alternatively fueled vehicle, a green team, and preparation of an Environmental Management System. Issues identified by the park for further work include water quality, impacts on the resource from use or overuse, shoreline erosion, lack of potable water, waste disposal, transportation and parking, planning and construction, and interpretation of sustainability. This charrette was the eighth in a series co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The objective of the charrette was to develop a plan for further greening of Canaveral in high priority areas such as planning, transportation, facilities, operations and maintenance, and interpretation/ education. The event began with a half-day tour of the site, designed to introduce speakers and other outside participants to issues at Canaveral that might be addressed during the charrette.
