Coastal engineering in NC North Carolina banned permanent coastal structures in 1985 Can sandbag for 2 years while waiting for beach nourishment Deal, NJ Deal, NJ

Figure 8 Island

Figure Eight Island Controversy Erosion of Rich Inlet is threatening homes Beach nourishment is quickly undone 20 homes have sandbags Homeowners want an exception to build a terminal groin Corrugated steel wall driven into the sand sticking a few feet above sea level. Terminal groin at Oregon Inlet

Figure Eight Island Controversy Should residents be allowed to build a terminal groin? If not, what should happen? http://www.learnnc.org/lp/media/collections/cede/cedehcd14.jpg http://www.follansbeeroofing.com/images/casehistories/Figure_8b.jpg
