Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively studies the potential uses of Smith Island, a subtropical coastal environment at the mouth of the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. The author identifies the objectives that the state could achieve in its use of the island, describes previous attempts at development, and evaluates certain uses that the state could undertake. One of the main topics of the book is the discussion of environmental constraints associated with the use of Smith Island. These include the forces of the ocean and the climate, which operate to continually alter the shoreline and inlets and which, through storms, make coastal areas less physically secure than many other parts of the state. The author recognizes the complexity of these issues and the importance of understanding the environmental constraints when considering the use of Smith Island. The book concludes that the decision about the use of Smith Island must rest upon the weights attached to each of the general objectives, the specific objectives to be served by alternative programs of state use, and alternative programs in other locations that might promote attainment of the specific and general objectives This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
