From 'Intent of this summary document': "This summary document is intended to provide readers with a snapshot of the resource stewardship strategy for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. For the sake of simplification and abbreviation, this unit of the national park system will also be referred to as “the park” or Apostle Islands in this document. The document serves as a communication tool that complements the dynamic and evolving RSS desktop application that is actively used for resource management. This summary is not intended to describe all of the elements in the resource stewardship strategy, but instead focuses on those components of the strategy that are essential for communicating information about the park’s plan to address key management issues and seize opportunities for those resources identified as priority natural and cultural resources. This document includes a summary of key issues, stressors, and threats affecting park resources; brief descriptions of the park’s priority resources and their components; and stewardship goals for priority resources and stewardship activities determined to be high priorities for the next 3 to 5 years. The document concludes with a brief description of future RSS implementation. It is important to remember that implementation of the resource stewardship strategy is an ongoing process, with necessary updates and revisions occurring as resource and management conditions change and stewardship activities are carried out."
