Abstract:

Hurricane Floyd and Hurricane Dennis affected some 300 miles of state shoreline with flooding, overwash, erosion and wave damage. Spencer Rogers, Sea Grant's coastal construction and erosion specialist, compared damages within the limits of three projects designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with areas outside the projects to determine how well the dune and beach nourishment projects performed.
