Congress established the Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia, covering the area shown on a 1978 boundary map. The Secretary of the Interior can make small boundary changes after telling two Congressional committees, but the total area can never exceed 40,500 acres.

Congress created the Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia. The goal is to let the public use and enjoy significant shoreline land and water, and to preserve their scenic, scientific, and historical value. The Seashore covers the area shown on a January 1978 boundary map, which must be kept on file for public inspection at National Park Service offices. The Secretary of the Interior may make minor boundary adjustments over time, by publishing a revised map or description in the Federal Register — but only after notifying, in writing, the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the House's Natural Resources Committee. No matter how the boundary changes, the Seashore's total area can never exceed 40,500 acres.
