Description

With The Nature of North Carolina’s Southern Coast, Dirk Frankenberg’s effort to supply a comprehensive field guide to the state’s dynamic shoreline is complete. Picking up where his 1995 book The Nature of the Outer Banks left off, this book covers the coastal region from Ocracoke Inlet to the South Carolina border. Along the best way, it provides a close-up have a look at the world’s natural environment, highlighting the processes that have shaped, and continue to shape, North Carolina’s southern coast.

The book guides the reader to more than fifty different natural areas—including barrier islands, coastal waters, estuaries, wetlands, and forests—which have been preserved along 180 miles of coastline. Drawings, maps, and photographs amplify the text, aid in identifying common plants, and illustrate the local natural communities. In a final section, the writer explores the results of human land use on coastal areas, calling attention to plenty of current environmental threats and discussing ways through which these issues could be addressed. Informative and useful, this book will aid and encourage the responsible exploration and enjoyment of North Carolina’s coastal environment.
