Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks
Coastal processes and conflicts: North Carolina's Outer Banks
The seam where continent meets ocean is a line of constant change, where with every roll of the waves, every pulse of the tides the past manifestly gives way to the future. There is a sense of time and of growth and decay, life mingling with death. It is an unsheltered place, without pretense. The hint of forces beyond control, of days before and after the human span, spell out a message ultimately important, ultimately learned.
— David Leveson, 1972
