What we're doing

The National Park Service has deployed incident management personnel from across the country to prepare for and respond to oil impacts along the Gulf Coast. We recognize that the national parks in the Gulf Coast attract millions of visitors each year and are integral to the economic fabric and natural systems of this region.

As oil continues to come onshore at Gulf Islands National Seashore and creeps closer to other national parks in Florida, Louisiana and Texas, National Park Service employees regularly based in these parks as well as those deployed as part of various incident teams are working to assess and clean up oil impacts and protect the park’s critical natural and cultural resources, including wildlife, birds, and historic structure and serve the visiting public.

All national parks in the Gulf coast region remain open to the public. To see a map, go to:

However, depending on future oil impacts, some temporary closures may occur. Please check individual park websites for further information by clicking on the appropriate link below.

The NPS Office of Public Health provides information about health effects related to the oil spill.
