I48-1 The Park Service is tasked with conserving park purposes <strong>and</strong> values <strong>and</strong> providing opportunities for people to enjoy park<br />

resources. Since 99% of the people who come to Glacier Bay visit the Bay on motorized vessels, eliminating or<br />

significantly reducing the number of motor vessels that enter the park would contradict the NPS m<strong>and</strong>ate of providing<br />

use that occurs within the park <strong>and</strong> mitigate the impact of those vessels on park resources by requiring specific operating<br />

requirements.
