There's something for everyone with a wide variety of secrets -- from down-home shrimp shacks to gourmet bistros; from primitive campgrounds to luxury bed-and-breakfasts. The Carolina coast has all this and more for you to enjoy if you know the secrets. With this book, you soon will.
The Coasts of Carolina captures the vibrancy of the North Carolina oceanfront, sound country, and interior shores behind the barrier islands. Scott Taylor, who has been photographing the coast for almost thirty years, and Bland Simpson, whose many coastal books have delighted readers for two decades, come together to offer an inviting visual and textual portrait organized around coastal themes such as nature, fishing, and community life, with an emphasis on particular places and seasons. Evocative text is woven together with 145 vivid color images to present a unique and welcoming vision of the coastal region. As natives of the area, the collaborators venture beyond the familiar to show us swamp, marsh, river, sound, and seashore, uncovering places of uncommon delight that most visitors rarely lay eyes on. Their work celebrates the beauty of this amazing region and embodies their distinctive sense of what makes the North Carolina coast so special.
Three leading coastal geologists provide a guidebook to North Carolina beach characteristics created specifically to enhance trips to the beach for tourists and residents. Original.
The history of North Carolina's coast is long and colorful: Pirates haunted these shores, the first American settlers made landfall here, and treacherous shoals earned its waters a reputation as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Just as fascinating as the coast's past are its beautiful natural resources and complex ecosystem. The pristine beaches stretching from Nag's Head to Wrightsville lured thousands of visitors, many of whom decided to stay. In the twentieth century, commerce and tourism finally found their way to quiet coastal communities. Soon after, development and pollution began to destroy the very natural treasures that had attracted so many newcomers. In 1982, Carteret County native Todd Miller decided that it was time to take action, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation was born. NCCF has since gained recognition as the most effective advocate for the protection of our coastal environment. In 1995, NCCF began distributing annual State of the Coast Reports aimed at helping interested citizens understand the changing faces of their wetlands, beaches, and hometowns. The State of Our Coast is published through a special agreement between NCCF and Coastal Carolina Press. Here, for the first time, five years of NCCF's State of the Coast Reports appear in one comprehensive volume. Featuring reports from 1997-2001, this compilation tackles pressing environmental issues, showcases cutting-edge ecological research, and explores controversial legislative decisions. Most of all, it presents simple, everyday ways to care for our shores. The North Carolina Coastal Federation and Coastal Carolina Press invite you to join the thousands of citizens who are working to make a difference in the state of our coast. Welcome! Book jacket.
The only cruising guides devoted exclusively to the two Carolinas and Georgia, these volumes cover every body of water along the coast as far inland as it is safe to navigate. The guides include historical summaries, coastal folklore, listings of coastal marinas and their services, and tips on shoreside attractions.
A look at the history, the people, and the environment of the N.C. coast, written by one of the moving forces behind N.C.'s current laws about coastal management.
Dogs and parks. Wed two of our favorite things together and you have the makings of a perfect day, right? Except at America's national parks. Save for a few exceptions, dogs are never allowed on national park trails and rarely permitted beyond a campground or picnic area. There is an old saying that goes, "Start explaining and you've lost the argument." The National Park Service goes to great lengths to explain their reasons for banning dogs outside of vehicles. Dogs endanger wildlife. Dogs interfere with people's enjoyment of the park. Dogs ruin the pristine environment. Dogs can introduce diseases that could decimate wild populations. Some parks cite the fact that just the scent of dogs will make prey animals frantic (at least that will keep the jittery critters out of campgrounds and picnics where apparently their wellbeing is not as big a concern). Some park officials go so far as to imply that they are doing dog owners a favor by keeping dogs out of the woods since they may become prey themselves. One park's regulations read thusly: "There is a strong possibility that your pet could become prey for a bear, coyote, owl, or other predator." What is a "strong possibility?" Better than 50%? 20%? Really? Any talk of the probability of a leashed dog on a trail being eaten by a wild animal that goes beyond "vanishingly small probability" is absurd. Tellingly, the national parks in Canada - which also receive millions of visitors each year and also protect wildlife - allow dogs on their trails almost without exception. And in the United States the prohibition against dogs on national park trails is not a universal edict. Individual parks are allowed to make their own rules regarding dogs. A handful have decided to allow dogs on the trails, the chance of man's best friend becoming some other animal's dinner be damned. Some have even become more lenient in recent years. Petrified Forest National Park used to allow dogs only on a few nature trails. Now the park declares: "Petrified Forest is a very pet friendly national park! Please take your furry friends on trails, even backpacking in the wilderness area." This is not a book about whether rules regarding dogs in national parks are right or wrong. It is about how dog owners - given the current restrictive playing field - can experience our national parks, take along their best trail companions, and still have their dream vacation. For each park, if dogs are not allowed on the trails, a nearby substitute is identified and described (dogs are usually welcome in national forests, for example. The burden on people and wildlife caused by dogs and a patronizing concern for a dog's well-being apparently cause less government worry in those woods). Only those national parks which can be reached by automobile are included. So with that in mind - grab a leash and hit the trail!
