Past, Present, and Future at Pine Island
Hunting Log from Pine Island History
Birdlife plays a key role in the history of Pine Island and the entire Currituck Sound region.
When Audubon North Carolina assumed full management of Pine Island on the northern Outer Banks two years ago, the organization became the steward of one of the last remnants of the storied Currituck Sound landscape.
The Sanctuary in Corolla works to maintain a balance between conservation and hunting regulations.
Coratank is the Indian word from which our Currituck - sound, county, courthouse - was long ago derived.
Audubon staff and partners have developed a conservation and usage plan for the sanctuary that will ensure that visitors make a minimal impact on the Sanctuary’s habitats, birds, and wildlife.
