Barrier Islands Are Not Permanent
- "North Carolina barrier islands are not permanent. Rather, they are highly mobile piles of sand that are impacted by sea-level rise and major storms and hurricanes. Our present development and management policies for these changing islands are in direct conflict with their natural dynamics." - quote from UNC Press description of the new book The Battle for North Carolina's Coast.
