Abstract: The proposed study would provide information to be used in deciding cruise ship use levels in Glacier Bay proper. Glacier Bay proper is the portion of Glacier Bay National Park that is north of a line drawn from Pt. Carolus to Pt. Gustavus. The purpose of this research is to provide Park managers with information about the current positive and negative effects, if any, of cruise ships on the quality of visitor experiences and to estimate potential effects on the quality of visitor experience of cruise ship use levels specified in the ROD (Record of Decision for Vessel Quotas and Operating Requirements in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, 2003).
