Abstract:
Controversy over Oregon Inlet jetty construction continues in North Carolina. Opponents to the jetties believe that a regular program of dredging is a better solution, whereas proponents argue dredging is unfeasible and too expensive to maintain a navigable channel. The Army Corps of Engineers is already authorized to build the jetties but additional Congressional actions remain before construction can proceed.
