Albemarle-Pamlico Sounds
Characterization of Baseline Demographic Trends in the Permanent and Temporary
Populations in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study Area
Type: Stressors
affecting habitat (i.e., which sources have contributed to its degradation and
whether they are direct or indirect factors).
Category: Upland
Cost: Information not provided.
Description: The permanent and temporary populations of 33 counties within
the North Carolina portion of the APNEP area were studied. Year-round population
figures were derived from available census years and state and federal agency
projections. Temporary population figures were derived from the number of hotel
and motel rooms, the number of campground sites, the number of marinas and boat
slips and the number of recreational housing units.
Outcome: Carteret and Dare Counties had the greatest recreational activity.
Several coastal counties experienced significant growth during the 1980s, most
especially in recreational housing, hotels and motels, and marinas. Such growth
is expected to continue in the near future, with the greatest growth projected
for Carteret and Dare County and, to a lesser extent, Hyde County. The greatest
development activity will be on the barrier islands.
