Abstract
The Duck Field Research Facility is located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a series of offshore sandbars extending from the Virginia- North Carolina border southward about 200 miles to Bogue Inlet, North Carolina. These bars lie almost parallel to the mainland and are separated from it by shallow sounds of varying widths.
The study area is included in Currituck Bank (North Bank), which extends from the Virginia-North Carolina boundary southward to the town of Nags Head, a distance of about 45 miles (Fig. 1). The bank was originally demarcated by two inlets; Old Currituck Inlet, which was located just south of the Virginia-North Carolina line until it closed around 1730, and Nags Head Inlet, which was located just south of the present town of Nags Head until it closed sometime between 1780 and 1810 (Stick, 1958).
