Abstract:

Some of the best hunting and fishing areas on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts are on and around undeveloped barrier islands. Yet, these areas are experiencing the fastest growth, urbanizing at twice the rate of the mainland. Unless policies are changed, costs to taxpayers for barrier island development and loss of natural habitat will be enormous.
