A sequence of five georeferenced aerial photographs of the area of North Core Banks
between Swash Inlet (left) and Whalebone Inlet (right). Vegetation in 1940, 1943, and 1962 is limited to back-barrier
platform marshes and submerged sand bodies. The 1983 and 1998 aerial photographs show increasing amounts of
subaerial, inter-tidal, and submerged aquatic vegetation with diminishing amounts of bare sand as overwash initially
increased island elevation, which in turn decreased overwash and allowed vegetative cover to increase.
