Officials at the Cape Lookout National Seashore are looking to get ahead of the curve when it comes to off-road vehicle
management at the seashore.
A meeting was held Monday night to inform the public on possible alternatives to protect wildlife and other resources on site. The
current plan dates back to 1972 and is out of date.
Plans for Cape Lookout come as those for and against beach driving along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore face a court
imposed Friday deadline to reach an agreement.

I don't think that the impact on the economy is being considered. At a time when it's already bad, why take away more? The beaches
of North Carolina have brought in huge revenues for this state. Why change this? Consider the state of the economy and how this will
set us back even further.

With careful management the beach can be a place for animals and people to enjoy. A few crazy nuts go over there once in awhile
and mess it up for everyone. Maybe more strict punishment should be in place for people who can't enjoy the area and be
environmentally friendly!!!

the national park service has squandered 30 years, and threatens over a billion dollars per year in tourism, and what has become a
heritage. Shame on them! protect north carolinians first. dont plant eggs on the beach.
