I'm an avid surf fisherman and as you may or may not know the Outer Banks have been a battleground for quite some time over beach access, namely ORV's (off road vehicles). We all know what happens when the .gov gets involved in things. 
Recently, Sen. Hagan and Burr have sponsored a new bill S 1557 to restore The Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area to the previous Interim Management Plan. Please take a couple quick minutes to go to the following web site Preserve Beach Access and make sure that register under "Act Now". This web site was founded by Dare County and is being paid for by the tourism Board and serves 2 major purposes. 1) Registering on this site gives Dare County direct access to the number of supporters for Beach Access, which helps considerably, when presenting our plight to other politicians. 2) By registering on this site Preserve Beach Access officials will be able to email you important updates and things you can do to help, wether, that is placing a phone call or sending an email, etc. All of the ORV groups are working with the County on this project, when it comes to information and actions. Being signed up on this site allows everyone to be informed with one press of a button. If your entire family cares about this issue, then the entire family needs to register. This is a numbers game and 1 family member registering for a family of 4-5 supporters only hurts the bottom line. Thanks!
