Not necessarily. Out on the cape it has very little impact at all. The only impact it could really have is the development of sand dunes (which is a big issue out on Nauset. However, that is a natural issue and not a man-made one. The other issue is that of the Piping Plover . But, as was proved last year when they closed the entire beach for almost a month, they control where people are able to drive!
So the question really arises, what are the reasons, truly, for this ordinance to be passed?
As for preserving our world for future generations? I'm all for it man, but cars driving around on a beach isn't going destroy our world anytime soon. I haven't been out in NC, but I would assume that sand changes every year just like out on the cape. Any real evidence of vehicles being out there gets wiped clean.
