Shrinking Outer Banks: Major efforts underway to save the beaches
Рет қаралды 13,725
Күн бұрынThe calming crash of ocean waves along the Outer Banks has attracted families here for generations.
"All my children grew up on these beaches, my mother used to come with my grandmother and us and my great aunt," said Pam McFaden, of Virginia.
Times have changed for McFaden but coming back here releases a flood of memories.
"They still are here," McFaden expressed. "They're in my mind here. They've been gone for years, but they're still here."
The Outer Banks are evolving as much as the lives of their visitors. The biggest change? They're shrinking.

@TheBowersj do you honestly believe that the outerbanks and all other barier islands were man made ? I think your referring to the spoil islands along the intercoastal waterway you clearly don't know what your talking about the barier islands have been here since the ice age.

For those who haven’t spent their lives living or walking along the OBX, living on the beach seems foolish. If you have vacationed here all your life, worked or lived along these shorelines, you understand the emotional attachments regardless the risks.

Turn it all back to Nat'l Seashore. You should never have been allowed to build there in the first place except for the original peoples. It's always been a speculative gamble. You can't fight Mother Nature for a 100 some odd miles. We all knew this was happenin back in the 1980s from UNC Oceanographer Oren Pilkey on forward.

It's more like big business building rentals! Taking out sand dunes to build. Man is the reason!

building right in front of the ocean seems silly to me, but its an investment and people make money from it. they should also be responsible for the clean up as well when the ocean takes it away
