• Abstract:
  This study for the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) identifies and analyzes options for enhancing alternative transportation access to the Nantucket National Wildlife Refuge (Nantucket NWR) at Great Point in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The study team developed and evaluated multiple scenarios for enhancing alternative transportation access to Nantucket NWR. The team developed an initial set of land- and water-based scenarios, and then refined them with further research on visitor demand, site conditions, financial projections, and implementation requirements. After arriving at a core set of access options, the study presents specific considerations and recommendations for FWS and its partners as they move to implement enhanced service. The project team recommended that rather than implement a drastically new service model, FWS implement flexible enhancements to the current tours.
