  • Advocacy Coalitions, Bonner Bridge, and the Future of Nc 12 on North Carolina’S Outer Banks

    Advocacy Coalitions, Bonner Bridge, and the Future of Nc 12 on North Carolina’S Outer Banks

    SHIFTING SANDS AND SHIFTING STRATEGIES: ADVOCACY COALITIONS, BONNER BRIDGE, AND THE FUTURE OF NC 12 ON NORTH CAROLINA’S OUTER BANKS by Deanna F. Swain May 2017 Director of Dissertation: Dr. Burrell Montz Major Department: Coastal Resources Management Coastal management decisions are complicated. They involve an array of competing concerns, including environmental, social, economic, recreational, and property interests, and are inherently political. These decisions become even more difficult when interested groups use their political and economic leverage to influence the policy debate. The Bonner Bridge replacement project on North Carolina’s Outer Banks is an example of how this blend of politics, science, and competing interests can result in extraordinary complexity. This research project uses a qualitative case study of the Bonner Bridge replacement to explore how a bridge project became more about priorities and values than science and technical feasibility and how interested parties, acting through informal coalitions, strategically worked to shape the policy debate. In the process, we see how the replacement of a single aging bridge required 25 years of planning, four environmental impact statements, an environmental assessment, federal and state lawsuits, and a negotiated settlement before a single piling was put into place. Drawing on the policy process literature, this project applies aspects of the Advocacy Coalition and Narrative Policy Frameworks to a qualitative content analysis of the bridge project over a 25 year period (1990-2015). The analysis tracks the emergence and evolution of two distinct coalitions and compares their use of general and narrative strategies to influence the bridge debate. The project addresses an under-explored area in the Advocacy Coalition Framework literature by focusing on how coalitions act strategically to exploit an internal shock within the policy subsystem and contributes to the literature by exploring the intersection of the two frameworks.

  • Oregon Inlet Opened in 1846 As Water Rushed from the Sound to the Ocean

    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 the act of riding a wave started as a religious/cultural tradition, surfing rapidly transformed into a global water sport. The popularity of surfing is the result of events, innovations, influential people (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9754­the­most­influential­people­to­ the­birth­of­surfing), and technological developments. Early surfers had to challenge the power of the oceans with heavy, finless surfboards. Today, surfing has evolved into a high­tech extreme sport, in which hydrodynamics and materials play vital roles. Surfboard craftsmen have improved their techniques; wave riders have bettered their skills. The present and future of surfing can only be understood if we look back at its glorious past.

Kite surfing is one of the upcoming popular extreme sports, where very few have studied the mechanical forces that act on the body. There are several factors that contribute to mechanical stress, and for preventing injuries it is of interest to investigate how these forces affect the body and how we can develop the equipment and prepare the athletes for making it as safe as possible. This project will study injury prevalence, motion analysis and mapping of forces and pressure during kite surfing. The outcome will be a better understanding of biomechanics of kite surfing and a construction for testing and training. biomechanics, kite surfing, injuries, muscle strength, motion analysis 1 Introduction Extreme sports are becoming more and more popular, and since these sports often are associated with higher risks than other sports (Slanger, Rudestam, 1997), it is also possible that the biomechanical stress is higher and contributes to more injuries. Kite surfing is a water sport where the practitioner goes on water with a board through the power of a kite 25 meters up in the air.

European Personal Watercraft Championship in Crikvenica Waverunner in Japan Racing scene at the German Championship 2007 Jet Ski is the brand name of a personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The name is sometimes mistakenly used by those unfamiliar with the personal watercraft industry to refer to any type of personal watercraft; however, the name is a valid trademark registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and in many other countries.[1] The term "Jet Ski" (or JetSki, often shortened to "Ski"[2]) is often mis-applied to all personal watercraft with pivoting handlepoles manipulated by a standing rider; these are properly known as "stand-up PWCs." The term is often mistakenly used when referring to WaveRunners, but WaveRunner is actually the name of the Yamaha line of sit-down PWCs, whereas "Jet Ski" refers to the Kawasaki line.

  • Mid-Atlantic Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study

    Mid-Atlantic Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study

    New Jersey MID-ATLANTIC COASTAL AND OCEAN RECREATION STUDY The Surfrider Foundation, in partnership with Point 97, The Nature Conservancy, and Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute, (the Team), and in collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO), conducted a Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study (Study) for the Mid-Atlantic region in 2013-2014. The Study engaged recreational users and the public in providing data on “non-consumptive” recreational use, including surfing, diving, kayaking, beach going, and wildlife viewing. This data was previously unavailable and fills a key gap in our understanding of coastal and ocean uses in New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic. METHODS The Team used a web-based survey accessible by mobile phones, tablets, or desktop/laptop computers to collect data from respondents on recreational use patterns, trip expenditures, and demographics. To obtain this data, the survey included a series of questions and an easy-to-use interactive mapping tool, where respondents could mark the places they went to recreate over the last year. The Team then analyzed the resulting spatial data to develop maps indicating intensity of use for recreational activities in the region (see map insert). To promote participation in the Study, the Team conducted outreach to over 300 recreational groups and businesses throughout the Mid- Atlantic region. In total, Mid-Atlantic respondents completed nearly 1,500 surveys resulting in over 22,000 unique data points. NEW JERSEY: STUDY FINDINGS Coastal and ocean recreation encompasses a popular and diverse group of activities in New Jersey (see graphic below) resulting in major economic and social benefits to coastal communities.

    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Historic and Architectural Resources of Currituck County, 1790-1958 Section __E___ Page __1 =================================================================================== Introduction “When Nature came to design the topography of eastern North Carolina,” wrote North Carolina historian Charles Christopher Crittenden in 1936, “she almost persuaded herself to create a great maritime center.”1 The interplay between water and land in Currituck is key to understanding the history and evolution of the county. 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.
