But with increasing development, it is increasingly difficult to get to those beaches. "No Trespassing" signs dot beach front houses. Fences spring up. David Brower (UNC-CH) will tackle the thorny problem by defining, evaluating, testing and pre- senting the most effective legal tools which may be used by governments to secure public access to coastal beaches. North Carolina's coastline stretches over 330 miles. Over half a million people make their homes here. Where people and environment meet, prob- lems sometimes arise. Eroding shorelines and con- tinuing development are an obvious example. Estuarine shoreline erosion gobbles up an aver- age of two to three feet a year in North Carolina. But losses of 20 feet are not uncommon. Folks just can't afford to wait and see which backyards the land thief will gobble up. For the past two years, Sea Grant-supported researchers at East Carolina University have been examining how erosion works and the factors that slow it down or speed it up. In 1977, Stan Riggs, Mike O'Connor and Vince Bellis will present local governments and land owners with a classification system of shoreline types and tips on identifying and dealing with those types. There's more good news on estuarine erosion. Scientists working at North Carolina State Uni- versity have proven that in some cases marsh grasses can be planted to slow and, sometimes, even reverse erosion. The problem is, the research- ers can't readily predict where their grasses will and won't work. So, this year, Ernest Seneca and Steve Broome (NCSU) are teaming up with NCSU physical oceanographer Ernie
