SAVE HATTERAS & OCRACOKE ISLAND
another website overhaul coming
soon...
May 5, 2008
-
The National
Park Service
today closed
down three
popular areas on
the Cape
Hatteras
National
Seashore to
off-road
vehicles.
They are the
first major
closures under
the terms of a
consent decree
that was signed
last week by
U.S. District
Court Judge
Terrence W.
Boyle and that
ended a
contentious
legal battle
over ORV access
on the seashore.
The areas that
have been closed
to ORV traffic
are Bodie Island
spit, Cape
Point, and the
South Point of
Ocracoke. All
three are
especially
popular with
fishermen, and
the closures
couldn’t come at
a worse time for
surf anglers..
