This inventory of the barrier islands of Virginia, North Carolina, South 

 Carolina, and Georgia summarizes information on each island's size (all 

 over 200 acres), development status, ownership, property assessments, and 

 local land-use regulations. Of the 81 islands in the study area, 27 were 

 largely owned by the State or Federal government; 9 were owned by private, 

 nonprofit organizations; and the remaining 45 islands were predominatly 

 privately owned. The authors state that nearly half the privately owned 

 islands were threatened by recent and anticipated real estate development.
