Abstract:
In January 1999, the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was slightly over 100 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. Over the years various strategies had been used to keep away the encroaching waves, including construction of three concrete groins, beach renourishment, and sandfilled nylon bags. The structure is now being moved away from the ocean, 3,000 feet to the southwest. Plans call for the lighthouse to reopen in its new location on Memorial Day 2000.

Abstract:
When the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was in danger from encroaching erosion, Mr. Bill Garret and his 'Seascape' stepped in to help. An artificial seaweed made from plastic, Seascape was built up into a reef along the shore of the lighthouse to dissipate erosion. The units of Seascape have so far been successful and an order has been made to add more offshore.

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.
