Abstract:
When the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was threatened by storms and beach erosion last winter, a 150-foot strip of sandbags and rubble was installed near the base of the historic landmark. Efforts are now being organized to provide permanent protection for the lighthouse. Proposals include building a circular revetment around the lighthouse’s base, moving the lighthouse, or extending the present groins and pumping new sand onto the beach.
