But as the concentration of population has moved west, first to the interior coastal plain and then to the Piedmont, the once compelling political influence of the Albemarle hod diminished to die point where even the loudest voices of our politicians are seldom heard, and even less frequently heeded, in Raleigh or in Washington. In the process Albemarle Sound, throughout its ap proximately 50 miles of length from Kitty Hawk and Point Harbor on the east to die bluffs of Bertie on the west, has been in a con tinuing state of decline - its water flow affected by dams and withdrawal up the rivers; its water quality damaged by pollution and unwise use; its Fisheries in decline; its bridges out moded; its shore eroding; and its poeple in poverty.
