What remains under review
Agency clarification is pending for entrance-specific guard seasons, toilets, accessible routes, Virginia Forrest’s conflicting address and the final status of the proposed fishing amendment. Curtis, lagoon destinations and potential additional entrances remain a separate reconciliation queue; they are not silently added or merged.
Twelve guides have explicitly captioned regional photo exceptions awaiting beach-specific replacements. Confirmed text can publish without treating those photographs as local evidence.
