Why are the conservation groups sponsoring this website concerned about the management of Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina?
Years without adequate management over off-road vehicle use within the national park led to alarming declines among beach-nesting wildlife including rare birds and sea turtles. While people would not willingly harm or kill birds or sea turtles, Cape Hatteras National Seashore had lost step with federal law that requires units of the National Park System to establish guidelines for off-road vehicles (ORVs) that minimize harm to wildlife and natural values of the seashore in accordance with the best available science.
