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.
