Jeff Byar is not a NC resident, however, he often visits the Oak Island area. We are very grateful he allowed us to include this wonderful starfish photo in our roundup.

*although most of our NC seals are grey seals, we do occasionally have other ones, such as the harp seal, land on our beaches. Due to that, I have supplied a general link for seals..there are roughly 33 different types of seals still alive, with over 50 types extinct.
