The Politics of Preservation
Keyword(s):
This chapter puts the oyster controversy in the context of the larger story of PRNS, noting parallels between the present conflict and earlier park management dynamics. The use of formal planning processes (or lack thereof) has moreover been applied inconsistently in ways that seem to privilege natural resources and pressure the working landscape. The Seashore's long-awaited update of its general management plan, which is intended to provide an overall sense of management direction and goals for the park, remains stalled. An increasingly selective use of planning, science, and history seems to consistently downplay and erode the working landscape, even while publicly the NPS staff profess to support the ranches.
