A large percentage of this land has been converted into urban areas and farm land . Salt-affected land remains so from year to year , perhaps dependent on the ground water level , whereas crops are rotated and grazing patterns , management strategies and rainfall patterns change from year to year . This region is unique because of the high degree to which land remains in customary ownership . Whether the price of land goes up or down , the mortgage still has to be paid . This land has been owned by SWI for over 23 years . Nevermind the modern bird flyway , for at least 100 million years this land has been the planet 's great fly-zone , since the Cretaceous . Traditional leaders and institutions complain that local government initiatives undermine pre-existing land tenure rights , while councillors complain that traditional leaders and institutions block development so as to ensure that their hegemonic power and authority over land remains intact . Finally , although arable land remains communal property , it is divided periodically between the members of the agricultural commune , so that each cultivator tills the fields assigned to him on his own account and appropriates as an individual the fruits thereof , whereas in more archaic communities production took place communally and only the yield was shared out . According to this rule , if there is a horizon in the picture , whether an actual horizon where land meets sky or an artificial horizon created by a strong horizontal line such as a road , it should be located closer to one of the horizontal lines of the grid than to the center of the picture . The worse the national tragedy became and the higher the barrier of division grew , the greater our yearning for our benefactors and forerunners who shed their tears and blood for the sake of this land has grown in our hearts . Operated as part of the National Weather Service , this facility houses a Doppler weather radar system with advanced weather capabilities and is well positioned to monitor the weather upsets that come where land meets ocean . We develop an understanding of their historical effects on forest composition and biodiversity , and how the legacies of these land uses continue to influence forest dynamics and biodiversity today . In Wrightsville Beach , very little land remains for construction , but many condos and homes are available , albeit at very high prices .
