North Carolina has over 300 miles of beautiful coastline, thanks in large part to a state law that bans seawalls and other “hardened structures” from being built on our beaches. But a bill being debated in the state legislature could threaten North Carolina's beach protection laws. If passed, Senate Bill 599, Inlet Stabilization Pilot Program would set a dangerous precedent by allowing an exemption to the state’s ban on hardened structures along beaches. 

Barrier islands are by nature active environments that change with the ebb and flow of the tide. Interrupting the natural flow of sand by using seawalls, jetties and the like can cause erosion and other negative impacts on neighboring properties and beaches.
