Traveler's View: National Park Service Has Its Blinders On At Cumberland Island

A decade after the National Park Service acknowledged feral horses at Cumberland Island National Seashore are a nonnative species that has damaged natural, cultural, and historical resources and that a management plan needed to be developed for them, the agency still lacks such a plan and has endorsed a defense of legal technicalities to oppose emergency food and water for them.

Researchers Begin Erosion Impact Evaluations To Transportation Systems On Okracoke Island

Barrier islands form as waves repeatedly deposit sediment parallel to the shoreline. As wind and waves shift, so do these sand features. It’s no surprise, then, that Ocracoke’s dynamic barrier island, a part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore), is constantly changing in response to storm events and sea level rise.

UPDATE | Preparing For The Unexpected Across The National Park System

Though Hurricane Beryl was roughly 1,200 nautical miles from Padre Island National Seashore on Tuesday, crews already were out on the barrier island's beaches searching for Kemp's ridley sea turtle nests. Any that were found were recorded with a GPS location so, in the event the hurricane took a hard swipe at the national seashore, the nests could be relocated after the storm.
