The Decline of Fishing Piers in North Carolina
 Between hurricanes and increasing financial pressure from real estate development, North Carolina fishing piers are becoming fewer and farther between every day. The fishing piers on Bogue Banks are no exception. As many as 8 publicly accessible piers once allowed fishermen access to deeper waters but that number has been falling every year. Hurricanes claimed the Emerald Isle Pier and Indian Beach Pier in the 1990's and new real estate developments are claiming the Iron Steamer Pier and Triple S Pier. The future of the Sportsman's Pier is also in question. More on this story is available from the Jacksonville Daily News.
