Since there is vocal and persistent opposition to any restrictions on ORV use, it is important that birders and other recreational visitors to the seashore make their voices heard during the public comment period.. Comments do not need to be long; a short comment should be enough to let federal officials know that there is public support for wildlife protection. Nate suggests including two points:
1) I support a regulation to manage ORV use within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.Submit comments here by September 6.
2) The regulation should include science-based protections for wildlife and vehicle-free areas for wildlife and pedestrians.
