Abstract:

The Outer Banks is a vast embankment of sand just off shore from North Carolina that has protected the mainland from the ravages of sea but has also caused difficulty concerning navigation. Engineers and sailors alike have considered various ways of stabilizing the banks, opening inlets, and controlling flooding. This article presents some of them.
