MANAGEMENT DIFFERENCES

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS

Eventual phase out of grazing could have an adverse impact
on individual permittees. Any economic benefits of sport
hunting would be adversely impacted by its elimination.
These adverse impacts would be offset at least partially, if not
fully, by increased attraction to the area due to traditional
name recognition of NPS area. Watchable wildlife
opportunities would at least partially offset any adverse impact
of hunting closure.

Same as Alternative 1.

No economic impact on current uses p.e., grazing, hunting,
etc.). An effective marketing program could increase visitation
and result in economic benefits to community.
