Banning Alcohol on Masonboro Island


It is very likely that the Division of Coastal Management will propose banning alcohol at the Oct. 8th meeting. Since alcohol is currently allowed, law enforcement has no recourse but to let people bring huge coolers full of drinks onto the island. Being able to enforce an alcohol ban will allow local enforcement agencies to have some control of the large crowds that descend on the North End during the Fourth holiday. If the annual 4th bash wasn't seen as so out of control, Coastal Management may not be so intent in adding more enforcement and rules during the rest of the year. The REAL problem is that the revelers are leaving huge amounts of trash on the island during the 4th celebration. After many years no one has come up with a viable solution to the trash problem.
