Another thing that I didn't know is that the goats are able to survive because of a freshwater "lake" that collects rainwater in a low-lying area of the island. Apparently goats only need fresh water and plant life to survive so these little spit islands work out fine for them.

Goats!
A visit to Goat Island | StarNewsOnline.com
Wilmington's Star-News posted this article about the goats on the little island near the Sunset Beach bridge. People always seemed surprised to see them there. According to the article a gentleman on the mainland put the goats out there in the early 1980s to eat mosquitoes.

I can't help thinking of the salt marsh mutton that Josephine bragged about last year. Do you think there's a local market for "salt marsh goat"?
