Review the laws and regulations that guide water protection, visitor use, and resource stewardship across the park.
Many water rules exist because one careless shortcut at a stream edge can create damage far beyond a single footprint.
Protected Resources |
Streams, wetlands, riparian zones, and marine-adjacent habitats are protected under park rules that limit disturbance, dumping, collection, and unauthorized access. |
Research and Sampling |
Water sampling, equipment placement, and field disturbance require permits so staff can protect habitat and preserve reliable monitoring conditions. |
Visitor Conduct |
Stay on marked paths near sensitive water areas, avoid disturbing flagged plots or sensors, and follow all posted seasonal closures. |
