SAVE Currituck Sound: Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Evaluation in Currituck Sound, NC SAVE Currituck Sound: Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Evaluation in Currituck Sound, NC by Natasha G. Biarrieta May 2020 Director of Thesis: D. Reide Corbett, PhD Major Department: Geological Sciences ABSTRACT Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) provide numerous ecosystem services including enhanced biodiversity, erosion control and sediment stabilization, nutrient cycling, improved water quality, and organic carbon sequestration. Rapid environmental changes and increased coastal development have resulted in significant SAV losses globally. Currituck Sound, the northernmost estuary in North Carolina, was once known for extensive SAV beds serving as a refuge and food source to an abundance of fish and waterfowl that attracted anglers and hunters from all over the country. However, declines in water quality as a result of rapid population growth and development have led to massive declines in SAV habitats that have been devastating to the local ecology. This study investigated changes in historical and current SAV distribution and evaluated how these changes have been influenced by depth, light availability, and bed-sediment composition. The past and present relationship between depth and SAV cover was examined in several ways: (1) historical SAV cover maps, (2) hydroacoustic surveys, (3) quadrat transect surveys, (4) modeling using light attenuation data, and (5) comparisons with historical ground surveys. In Currituck Sound, SAV are not present beyond a water depth of 1.8 m and are preferentially located at depths shallower than 1.0 m. The median light attenuation for the combined 2016 and 2017 growing seasons was 1.99 m-1. The calculated minimum water-column light requirement was 2.8% and water-column light requirement for peak growth was ≥13.7%. Sediments were dominated by sand (average weight percent >90%) and had very low organic content (average percent loss on ignition ~1.0%). While some spatial and temporal variations in sediment composition were identified, no statistical relationships between SAV cover and sediment characteristics were observed. Light availability with depth proved to be the dominant factor limiting SAV growth and distribution in Currituck Sound. Therefore, the light and depth thresholds identified in this study are key to developing a sound management and mitigation plan.

  • Oregon Inlet Opened in 1846 As Water Rushed from the Sound to the Ocean
    Oregon Inlet opened in 1846, when a big hurricane along the Outer Banks caused water to rush from the sound to the ocean. Since that time, the inlet has migrated steadily south at a rate of around 100 feet per year. A good measure of the inlet’s journey is the Bodie Island Lighthouse, which once stood at the margin of the inlet but is now 3 miles away. In 1962, the Bonner Bridge replaced the ferry that shuttled people and cars across Oregon Inlet. Construction of the bridge, with its high fixed-span, instantly stopped the long history if inlet migration. But sand continued to pour into the inlet from the north, the driving force behind the inlet’s southerly migration, creating ever-expanding navigation and dredging problems. After 40 years, the Bonner Bridge is rapidly deteriorating and two possible replacement alternatives are being evaluated: A bridge immediately parallel to the current bridge and a 17 mile-long bridge that would extend into Pamlico Sound, run along the backside of Pea Island and connect to Hatters Island at Rodanthe. The initial cost of constructing the Pamlico Sound Bridge is much higher than that of the Parallel Bridge. But the overall long-term costs of a Parallel Bridge greatly exceed those of the Pamlico Sound Bridge. This is because the Parallel Bridge requires the continued protection and maintenance of State Highway 12 on Pea Island. Over time, as the shoreline erodes back in response to a rising sea level, the cost of stabilizing Pea Island will become higher. Construction impacts to wetlands and sea grass beds are essentially the same for each bridge.

Although one of the oldest in the state of North Carolina, the county has also been one of the most overlooked. Piecing together the history of the county is difficult. Many of the records pertaining to the early history of Currituck have been lost or destroyed. A courthouse fire in 1842, for example, destroyed a substantial body of records, including marriage records. As a consequence, much of the county’s past lives on as oral history; written accounts tend to be either personal reminiscences or a recounting of events that have been passed orally through the different generations of a family. The history of the county remains to be written. A Geographical Overview of the County The most northeasterly of the one hundred North Carolina counties, Currituck is a peninsula: the land is long and narrow, low and even. The county consists of a mainland 1 Charles Christoper Crittenden, The Commerce of North Carolina 1763-1789. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1936, p. 8. NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No.

  • 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.

Currituck Heritage Park The park is open from dawn until dusk daily and we hope you visit often. a) Currituck Beach Lighthouse On December 1, 1875 the beacon of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse filled the remaining "dark spot" on the North Carolina coast between the Cape Henry light to the north and Bodie Island to the south. To distinguish the Currituck Beach Lighthouse from other regional lighthouses, its exterior was left unpainted and gives today's visitor a sense of the multitude of bricks used to form the structure… b) Whalehead Club In 1922, Industrialist Edward Collings Knight, Jr and his bride Marie LeBel took up winter residency in their newly acquired Lighthouse Club and began construction of a 21,000 sq.ft. Private residence. Its location on Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Flyway was perfect to satisfy the Knight's passion for waterfowl hunting. It was unlike any structure that local folks had ever seen or even imagined. c) OBX Center for Wildlife Education The Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education invites you to explore coastal North Carolina's wildlife, natural history and cultural heritage.
