Abstract:

Bird Island is North Carolina's southernmost island and one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands. In the early 1990s, island owners planned to develop it commercially. Lynch discusses the ten-year struggle to save the island, its attraction, and why it stirs such strong loyalty in people.
