The shifting sands and ever-changing shape of North Carolina’s coast may be most evident along the area’s barrier islands, where beach towns are the front line in the conflict between human development and the natural processes that can threaten the homes and property built there.One response to maintain beaches and fight erosion is projects that pump sand onto the shoreline.
On Topsail Island, Surf City and North Topsail Beach continue to pursue a federal beach nourishment project for the southern end of North Topsail Beach and the northern end of the Town of Surf City.
Along Bogue Banks, a decade of various post-Hurricane Floyd beach nourishment projects is complete, and the Carteret County Beach Commission and towns along the island are now working together on a comprehensive plan for beach nourishment along the island for the next 50 years.
