This law creates Dry Tortugas National Park in South Florida to protect its natural, historic, marine, and scientific value. The park covers the land and water shown on a 1980 boundary map kept at the National Park Service. The old Fort Jefferson National Monument no longer exists; the park replaces it.
In order to preserve and protect for the education, inspiration, and enjoyment of present and future generations nationally significant natural, historic, scenic, marine, and scientific values in South Florida, there is hereby established the Dry Tortugas National Park (hereinafter in this subchapter referred to as the “park”).
The park shall consist of the lands, waters, and interests therein generally depicted on the map entitled “Boundary Map, Fort Jefferson National Monument”, numbered 364–90,001, and dated April 1980 (which is the map referenced by section 201 of Public Law 96–287). The map shall be on file and available for public inspection in the offices of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
The Fort Jefferson National Monument is hereby abolished.
