Abstract:
Beach development is a controversial topic. One side feels that development is inevitable, yet manageable; protecting development is paramount with his group. The other side feels beach preservation is the prime issue; they feel that actions to protect development will inevitably damage the shoreline. Dr. Orrin H. Pilkey supports this second view and discusses his views in this CAROLINA PLANNING interview.

Zucchino discusses the structure of maritime forests. Among the functions of these trees are conserving groundwater by reducing evaporation and providing hurricane protection to barrier islands. The author discusses how early fishing villages were built in relation to the forests, the less sensitive approach to development that began after World War II, and how development in West Pine Knoll Shores dealt with maritime forests.

Coastal communities benefit through tourism and the building of vacation homes by increased tax revenues, more jobs, and marketability of marginal farmland. The negative side to this is the possible destruction of the qualities that attracted people to an area in the first place.

Abstract:
During the last twenty years, the importance of ensuring proper land planning and landscape management on barrier islands has been firmly established. Culminating with the passage and implementation of the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act of 1974, the overall planning and management process for barrier islands has substantially improved the balance between island development activities and the ability of the barrier island to maintain its essential ecological and geomorphological functions and processes. This includes the considerable role of maritime forests in the overall maintenance of the barrier island ecosystem.

Abstract:
One of the most controversial natural resource management issues in North Carolina has been the debate surrounding the future of the Currituck Outer Banks. As one of the last remaining undeveloped and privately owned barrier island stretches on the East Coast, this debate, between environmentalists, developers, planners, and governments, has taken on national significance.
