Abstract:

Barrier islands, such as the Outer Banks of North Carolina, are prone to erosion and natural shifting. Legislation pending in Congress would remove some of the federal subsidies that now encourage developers of barrier islands. This would save taxpayer dollars and low the commercialization of these precious lands.
