For the next 100 years: Quantifying visitation estimates in Acadia National Park
Brock-Montgomery D and Stanley R. 2018. For the next 100 years: Quantifying visitation estimates in Acadia National Park. Friends of Acadia
From the abstract: "Quantifying visitation estimations in Acadia National Park is a complex effort due to the diverse recreational opportunities, geography, and changing patterns in visitor use in the park. A variety of methods are used to help inform this work, including utilizing traffic counters, conducting vehicle occupancy studies, and assembling site statistics from campgrounds, buses, concessionaires and ferries. In light of substantial increases in visitation after the centennial year, additional projects are being developed to update multipliers, including some that are over 25 years old. Using this suite of approaches to approach visitor use and management, these numbers can be used to support robust adaptive management for the next 100 years."
