Abstract:

Seascape is the trade-name for a tubular device aimed at building an artificial reef in front of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Divers, surfers, and volunteers assisted the National Park Service in moving sand-filled tubes parallel to the beach. The tubes serve as anchors to attached fronds designed to catch sand and thereby help to prevent beach erosion.
