The park is composed of two distinct units--the barrier island that runs parallel to the south shore of Long Island and the 613-acre William Floyd Estate situated on the south shore of Long Island near the east end of Fire Island. To address the specific needs of these two distinct units, the Draft GMP/EIS includes two sets of alternatives. One addresses park-wide alternatives for Fire Island National Seashore with a primary emphasis on the barrier island and includes a no-action alternative and two action alternatives. The other set of alternatives focuses specifically on the William Floyd Estate and includes a no- action and a single action alternative. The Draft GMP/EIS also incorporates plans for the Otis Pike High Dunes Fire Island Wilderness and includes a draft Wilderness Stewardship Plan for public review concurrent with the Draft GMP/EIS.
