Abstract:

Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores provide the state with coastal wilderness stretching over 136 miles and the largest unspoiled beaches left in the country. Fishing is one of the most popular recreations there. Wildlife is abundant, and most of the villages located near them have retained their charm.

Abstract:

The water is getting dangerously close to the Cape Lookout lighthouse. With erosion increasing from 2.8 feet a month to 23.4 feet a month, it will not be long before the lighthouse is falling into the sea. While blame for this problem is being put on various causes, the big issue now is not who did it, but how the lighthouse will be saved.
