Managing the sand movement on the highest sand dune on the East Coast will be the topic of a public meeting next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Nags Head fire station.
The state Division of Parks and Recreation is preparing a long-term sand management plan for Jockey's Ridge State Park and is seeking public comment as part of that process.
The meeting will focus on patterns of sand movement over the last 20 years and will seek to identify options for dealing with sand management problems arising from the dune's southerly migration.
Oral and written comments will be taken at the meeting.
In addition, written comments will be accepted through May 31.
