Newkirk accepted his appointment saying, Masonboro Island is an incredible natural resource that the people of North Carolina have used for fishing, hunting, and watersports for more than 200 years. I look forward to helping the state protect and manage this very special place, and will work closely with all agencies and communities to insure that we maintain responsible public access to the island for future generations.

An avid surfer and paddleboarder, Newkirk is a Boardworks SUP Ambassador, a Surf City Team Rider, and one of the co-founders of the Carolina Cup SUP Race.

The North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve consists of more than 42,000 acres of state-managed habitat in 10 protected sites along North Carolina’s coast, including Masonboro Island.
