 Grandy. Held together by a saltless 

 sound, these towns and others make 

 up the County of Currituck. It 's a 

 county most unusual, where you 

 can fish for freshwater bass while 

 the ocean roars in your ears; where 

 an old decoy sells easier than 

 waterfront property; where a flat 

 beach serves as the only link be- 

 tween beach communities. 



The next two issues of Coastwatch 

 will focus on this unique coastal 

 county. In the first issue, we'll look 

 back at Currituck 's rich heritage. In 

 January, we'll examine the forces- 

 natural and man-made— that are 

 shaping the county 's future.
