The April 5 letter "Let's not make beach driving extinct" uses, at best, a gross misstatement.There has been no increase in "predators" on the Outer Banks. The only thing that has increased in the past 10 years is the number of off-road vehicles. This coincides with the 86 percent decrease in nesting populations of endangered species of birds on the Outer Banks.Helmut C. Mueller, Ph.D.Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology and Curriculum in Ecology, UNC-CHChapel Hill
