Closing and Evacuation of Cumberland Island National Seashore
Each launch from the proposed spaceport will require the evacuation of a large portion of the Cumberland Island National Seashore. The National Park Service has expressed concern over this fact and the impact that such evacuations will have on the operation of the National Seashore and its thousands of visitors. These concerns as well as others are summarized in the National Park Service’s scoping letter to the FAA.
