According to the Ocracoke Current, "The National Park Service issued a notice of intent to contract for
lifeguard services on Ocracoke for five days a week (Monday – Friday)
this summer." The NPS is hoping Hyde County will ante up the money to fund lifeguards on the weekends.
Of course, islanders think it is the Park Service's responsibility to provide lifeguards seven days a week during the season.
