Abstract:
Changes are occurring on Hatteras Island. One tradition that is vanishing from the Hatteras waterfront, as fisherman switch to gill nets, is haul seining. Another change is the decline in boat slips for commercial fishermen. In the last twenty-five years over 100 boat slips have been lost to private developers, and commercial fishing captains are competing for the 50 slips remaining in Hatteras. Fish houses have declined from six to two recently. To help fishermen, the Dare County Commissioners are petitioning the General Assembly to give tax breaks to fishermen as they do to farmers. Green explores the history of the Hatteras community from 1846 to the present.
