The statement for management (SFM) provides an up-to-date inventory of the park's condition and an analysis of its problems. It does not involve any prescriptive decisions on future management and use of the park, but it provides a format for evaluating conditions and identifying major issues and information voids. The statement for management is used by park management to determine the nature and extent of required plans and studies to be programmed in the outline for planning requirements and related documents.
