One of the most controversial natural resource management issues in North Carolina has been the debate surrounding the future of the Currituck Outer Banks. As one of the last remaining undeveloped and privately owned barrier island stretches on the East Coast, this debate, between environmentalists, developers, planners, and governments, has taken on national significance.

The crowds that flock to the North Carolina Outer Banks each summer were met with something new this June: a newly formed island off Cape Point, Hatteras Island. Dubbed Shelly Island, the new spit of land is a testament to the complex and dynamic nature of the state's coastal geomorphology.

Described were three ways how the “oldest horse in North America” arrived on Outer Banks, all taking place during Elizabeth I’s reign. The population on Shackleford Banks and Currituck, low because of laws passed since the 1930s, could be considered valuable because of their demand. As for their value to the residents, called Bankers, that couldn’t be measured monetarily.
