The park staff and I would like to thank you for your interest in Channel Islands National Park. This is a rare opportunity to join the park's active and engaged leadership team, giving you a role in planning the future of the park. We are delighted you are interested in becoming a steward of this internationally significant island chain. Thank you for making it this far. We hope our park website encourages excitement about this opportunity to inspire visitors at Channel Islands National Park while taking care to protect and keep these beautiful and fragile islands unimpaired for future generations.
In addition to the content contained on our visitor-facing website, I invite you to learn more about the direction of Channel Islands National Park in the links below. Heads up, some of these areas will likely be covered in future interviews.

• Channel Islands NP Backcountry and Wilderness Management Plan (ongoing)
• Channel Islands NP General Management Plan

• National Park Service Director's Order #6: Interpretation and Education

Close to the California mainland, yet worlds apart, the park encompasses five of the eight California Channel Islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara) and their ocean environment, preserving and protecting a wealth of natural and cultural resources. The park bridges two biogeographical provinces and in a remarkably small place, harbors the biologic diversity of nearly 2,500 miles of the North American coast.
The Channel Islands are home to over 2,000 plant and animal species, of which 145 are found nowhere else in the world.

Like the Galapagos Islands of South America, isolation has allowed evolution to proceed independently on the islands. Marine life ranges from microscopic plankton to the blue whale, the largest animal to live on Earth. Archeological and cultural resources span a period of more than 13,000 years of human habitation.

The protection of these fragile island resources was ensured when Congress, in the act that created Channel Islands National Park in 1980, established a long-term ecological monitoring program to gather information on the current health of resources and predict future conditions. This information provides park and natural resource managers with useful products for recreation planning, conservation and restoration programs, and early identification of critical issues.

The islands were set aside by Congress not only to preserve these resources, but also to provide for your enjoyment. If you visit the park, you will be one of a very select group. Few people actually see this park because it is not easy to get to-you can't drive to the islands. A short but exciting ocean voyage or a commercial flight in a small airplane is required. The park is one of the least visited of all of America's national parks. The relatively light visitation enhances the islands' feeling of solitude and assists in the protection of fragile resources. In establishing the park, Congress recognized the value of solitude by allowing for low intensity, limited entry visitation. So a visit to this national park will always provide a marked contrast to the bustle of southern California most people experience. It will always be a place where you can step back in time and experience coastal southern California the way it once was.
