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.
