Abstract:
In Core Sound was a village that might be rightly called a ghost town. Not a single living
inhabitant resides there, as anyone who visits by ferry, beach buggy, or air can attest. In fact, only two things remained in a town the author proclaimed held promise upon its founding in 1753. One is the physical reminders of lifeways gone by, like an enclave of houses and outbuildings maintained by the owners’ descendants. Another was memories of life in a town that started its long, gradual decline by the early nineteenth century.

Abstract:
In North Carolina, summer fishing is for tourists and fall is the time for fishermen’s fishing. The season usually begins with a mullet blow, a time when the fish become more active due to cooling shallow waters. Also typical of the boom in fall fishing is the well-fed king mackerel, gaining a pound per week in size.

Abstract:
The attraction to the area, also known as the “Crystal Coast” or “Down East,” could be felt far and wide, extending from natives to visitors who became residents. Some of the hooks that this waterborne region could boast: pier fishing, big game fishing; charter boats. Other appealing aspects catered to land lovers. One, a thriving historical society, interests ranging from the area’s Colonial origins to association with Blackbeard. Another was the Croatan National Forest, a refuge for wildlife and hunter alike.

Abstract:
Miles of east coast beaches are at a serious threat to erosion, which in turn threatens property owners, tourism, and habitat. Although there are several methods for stopping erosion, the constant, complex processes of energy produce a relentless pressure on the coastline. Simpson argues that solutions may lie in good flood plain and coastal zone planning.
