Storms, tides, floods, erosion, island migration and earthquakes are all hazards to the North Carolina shore. The authors explore these dynamics to show that understanding the changing nature of these beaches and islands is essential if we are to preserve them for future generations. 57 photos, 27 maps, 64 figures.
