Bald Head Island Marina Appeal Heard in New Bern
U S District Judge John D. Larkins Jr heard arguments in New Bern on a suit by the Conservation Council of North Carolina to block a 10 acre marina at Bald Head Island. The council seeks an environmental impact statement and review of the Army Corps of Engineers permit. Environmental groups warn of long term damage while an agreement would transfer 9 000 acres of wetlands to North Carolina.
