Maritime forests on the Outer Banks formed where dunes and estuaries met, historically providing wood, shelter, and nurseries for local fisheries; many stands were cleared in the 19th–20th centuries, making remaining patches ecologically important.
This is a sensitive habitat—stay in your boat, pack out all trash, and avoid disturbing vegetation and nesting birds to help preserve the forest and marsh system.
