In North Carolina This Sand May Not Be Your Sand
- "...it probably didn’t occur to you to ponder who owned the sand beneath your toes. After all, aren’t North Carolina’s 300 miles of shoreline the public’s to enjoy? That’s long been the assumption with our state’s beaches, but the notion is being challenged by two retirees in Emerald Isle. Their lawsuit involves a small patch of shoreline, but at stake is something much larger – the public’s access to what everyone presumed was a public resource." - excerpt from Op-Ed in the Charlotte Observer.
