The world according to me....

Place: Atlantic Beach, NC Date: March 2006 Location: Between the Triple S and Oceana piers (map here) Issue: Poor quality material that was placed on the beach during a renourishment project in 2004/2005 resulted in large quantities of mud on this section of beach (see here and here for examples). Proposed solution: The town of Atlantic Beach is working with the Army Corps of Engineers to possibly do extensive tilling and bulldozing to grade/loosen the problem material. This will have to be done before 01 May, when the sea turtle nesting season begins and no beach construction activities are allowed. Predicted outcome: stay tuned for more details.
