Burgess, Carla B.

Abstract:

Burgess discusses the controversy between the U.S. Navy and local residents and environmentalists over the Navy's decision to build an outlying landing field (OLF) on 30,000 acres in Beaufort and Washington counties near the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The field would be used by jet pilots to practice landings. The refuge is known for its thousands of wintering birds.
