Abstract:

Rip currents cause around 100 fatalities along the nation's coastlines each year. In 2000, ten individuals died from them in North Carolina waters. Mosher discusses a North Carolina Sea Grant project that raises rip current awareness in beach communities and the rip current research going on in Florida.
