WHEREAS, on September 8, 2020, President Donald J. Trump signed a presidential order extending the moratorium on offshore drilling on Florida’s Gulf and Atlantic coasts, as well as those of Georgia and South Carolina, which prohibits drilling from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2032, and for the reasons above should add North Carolina to the moratorium. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Dare County Board of Commissioners hereby reaffirms its ongoing opposition to offshore drilling, including exploratory drilling and seismic testing, and urges President Donald J. Trump to extend the moratorium, recently eliminating South Carolina, Georgia and Florida from the threat of offshore drilling and seismic testing, to include the State and coastline of North Carolina through June 30, 2032; and AND FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that North Carolina, our neighboring states, and all federal agencies take no action that would put our State and coastline at risk. This the 21st day of September, 2020. _____________________________________ Robert Woodard, Sr., Chairman Attest: _____________________________________ Cheryl C.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Commissioners of Dare County hereby adopts this proclamation in support of Dare County Department of Health and Human Services in its quest to promote suicide awareness and prevention; and BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the Board of Commissioners of Dare County does hereby proclaim September 2020 "SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH" in Dare County and urges its citizens and interested groups to promote awareness of this debilitating public health issue and reach out to someone with kind words of inspiration that may save a life.

Sorrie Inventory Biologist North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Office of Land and Water Stewardship Department of Environment and Natural Resources Raleigh, NC Funding provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund July 2014 ABSTRACT This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Dare County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund. The inventory identifies the most significant natural areas in the county, describes their features, and documents all natural communities and rare species of plants and animals associated with them. Habitat conditions, natural processes, and threats are also described. The inventory is intended to provide guidance for land use decisions by county, state, and federal governments, conservation and land management organizations, and interested citizens. Field work was carried out by Bruce A. Sorrie of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program during 2012 and 2013. The inventory identifies 34 areas of outstanding ecological significance as determined by criteria established by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals and agencies contributed to the planning, progress, and completion of this inventory. Jame Amoroso, Misty Buchanan, John Finnegan, Harry LeGrand, Janine Nicholson, and Linda Rudd reviewed the draft report and maps and assisted in the production of the final copy.

  • Constructing the Outer Banks: Land Use, Management, and Meaning in the Creation of an American Place
    ABSTRACT LEE, GABRIEL FRANCIS. Constructing the Outer Banks: Land Use, Management, and Meaning in the Creation of an American Place. (Under the direction of Matthew Morse Booker.) This thesis is an environmental history of the North Carolina Outer Banks that combines cultural history, political economy, and conservation science and policy to explain the entanglement of constructions, uses, and claims over the land that created by the late 20th century a complex, contested, and national place. It is in many ways a synthesis of the multiple disparate stories that have been told about the Outer Banks—narratives of triumph or of decline, vast potential or strict limitations—and how those stories led to certain relationships with the landscape. At the center of this history is a declension narrative that conservation managers developed in the early 20th century. Arguing that the landscape that they saw, one of vast sand-swept and barren stretches of island with occasional forests, had formerly been largely covered in trees, conservationists proposed a large-scale reclamation project to reforest the barrier coast and to establish a regulated and sustainable timber industry. That historical argument aligned with an assumption among scientists that barrier islands were fundamentally stable landscapes, that building dunes along the shore to generate new forests would also prevent beach erosion. When that restoration project, first proposed in 1907, was realized under the New Deal in the 1930s, it was followed by the establishment of the first National Seashore Park at Cape Hatteras in 1953, consisting of the outermost islands in the barrier chain. The idea of stability and dune maintenance continued to frame all landscape management and development policies throughout the first two decades after the Park’s creation.

  • Conserving Skeletal Material in Eroding Shorelines, Currituck
    WEAPEMEOC SHORES: THE LOSS OF TRADITIONAL MARITIME CULTURE AMONG THE WEAPEMEOC INDIANS by Whitney R. Petrey April, 2014 Director of Thesis: Larry Tise, PhD Major Department: Maritime Studies The Weapemeoc were an Indian group of the Late Woodland Period through the Early Colonial Period (1400 A.D.-1780 A.D.) that went through significant cultural change as they were displaced from their traditional maritime subsistence resources. The Weapemeoc were located in what is today northeastern North Carolina. Their permanent villages were located along the northern shore of Albemarle Sound, with seasonal and temporary villages on the outer banks and upriver on the several tributaries that drain to the Albemarle Sound. Weapemeoc access to maritime resources would be altered significantly by European colonization and settlement in the area. The loss of maritime subsistence, maritime communication and maritime mentality resulted in the loss of the traditional culture of the Weapemeoc Indians and their seeming disappearance as a distinct group of people. Early historical records and maps illustrate the acculturation of the Weapemeoc and the loss of traditional maritime culture. As land was sold to settlers in prime areas along rivers and along the shore of the Albemarle Sound, Weapemeoc were displaced from their seasonal procurement sites and seasonal permanent villages. By 1704, a reservation was established by the colonial government for the Weapemeoc along Indiantown Creek. By 1780, the Weapemeoc lived in such a similar fashion as their neighbors of European descent that they are no longer distinguishable in the archaeological or historical record.

Pre-Hurricane Isabel photograph of the lower portion of sediment bluff that occurs along the Chowan River estuary western shoreline. The red star, on the satellite image inside the back cover, indicates the specific site location. This bluff is approximately 75 feet high and consists of a lower clay bed that is about 30 feet thick (to the top of this photograph), with an overlying sand bed that is 45 to 50 feet thick. Because bluff shorelines normally erode at average rates between –2.0 and –2.5 ft/yr (Table 8-1-3) and because the lower sediment bank is composed of clay, there is no sand beach preserved on the eroded wave-cut scarp and platform (Fig. 4-2-1). Notice the red dotted line along the wave-cut scarp and compare this to the respective location on the post-Hurricane Isabel photograph on the back cover. Photograph was taken in August 2003.

    Currituck Banks, North Banks, and Roanoke Island Architectural Survey Report Penne Smith Sandbeck 2003 1 Multiple Property Documentation Form: Currituck Banks, North Banks, and Roanoke Island, N. C. Historic Architecture Survey Penne Smith Sandbeck / December 2002 Narrative Essay (Revised Draft) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of Historic Contexts Introduction The Currituck Banks, North Dare Outer Banks (referred to as the North Banks), and Roanoke Island, all extensively documented areas of North Carolina, experienced significant population growth during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Factors in this expansion include this section of the Outer Banks’ popularity as a year-round resort and its relative proximity to Virginia’s South Hampton Roads metropolitan area. The demands of increased population have put considerable strain on this already environmentally delicate region. Another manifestation of regional growth has been progressive encroachment on this area’s historic architectural resources. Given the Outer Banks’ rapacious rate of development, especially fragile are the surviving 1890-1939 residences in the survey area that are not National Register single properties or historic districts, and resources constructed between 1940 and 1955. Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century resources now exist among later twentieth-century infill. This infill ranges from 1960s-1980s cottages and the gigantic multi- family
