View Rule

This rule would allow for adaptive management of off-road vehicle (ORV) use at Cape Lookout National Seashore to protect and preserve natural and cultural resources and provide a variety of visitor experiences while minimizing conflicts among user groups. The rule would also designate routes and establish ORV operational requirements and restrictions.  This rule is required by the terms of a 2008 court-approved settlement agreement between the NPS and environmental groups. If this rule is not issued, the plaintiffs could re-litigate their claims and a court could require the NPS to stop all off-road vehicle use at the Seashore.
