Abstract:
Dave Owens is the former director of the Division of Coastal Management. Owens helped create the Estuarine Sanctuary Program and pushed coastal-development regulation. Committed to protecting North Carolina’s coastal habitats and communities who depend on those habitats, Owens worked hard to resist pressure to weaken regulations for developers. He was forced out of his position and now works at UNC’s Institute for Government, but continues to be a role model for coastal management leaders.

Abstract:
From Seeds to Shoreline is a K-12 program which teaches students about estuarine habitats and marsh restoration. As part of the program, students from Beaufort Elementary School in Beaufort, NC planted smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) at the living shoreline demonstration site on Pivers Island. The program helps students understand natural systems, their connections to the systems, and the benefits of the systems which filter pollutants, stabilize shoreline, and provide nurseries for commercial fishing.

Abstract:
Coastal development requires a balanced approach to both stimulate economic development while also preserving natural resources. In 1972, plans for development in Currituck County were halted to allow a team of architects, engineers, ecologists, economists, and local officials create a thorough, multi-disciplinary plan for the county's coastal land use. Specifics of their plan and potential use as a model for the entire state's coastal region are discussed.

Abstract:
A study by the North Carolina State University Center for Transportation determined that thirty-five miles of highways on North Carolina’s Outer Banks are vulnerable to service disruption from coastal erosion, wave overwash, sand deposits, flooding, or undermining. Maintaining transportation service by relocation, beach nourishment, causeway construction, or shoreline hardening will cost the state $99 million between 1990 and 2010.
