Through unique culture and ecosystems, North Carolina's coastal communities offer varied assets, but these assets also create unique challenges. Population growth and decrease are happening in coastal counties, as well as changes to job composition and commuting. Therefore, there are also changing coastal transportation needs, giving priority to coastal highways, bridges, and ferries.
