They can still be found at the Bogue Banks Marine Resources Center. It was a rough year for homeowners with beachfront and sound- front property. Spencer Rogers, Sea Grant's coastal engineering spe- cialist, says that an av- erage of 15 to 20 oceanfront houses are threatened each year. But this year, about 150 were threatened. (A house is threatened if there is no substantial protection between it and the shore- line.) At Topsail Beach, one of the areas hardest-hit, over 60 houses were threatened. Rogers blames the high frequency of northeasters, which repeatedly pound- ed the coast this winter, and the in- creased erosion in areas of high den- sity. "I saw more erosion of dunes this year than has been typical in the last five to ten years," he says. Damage wasn't confined to ocean- front property, says Rogers. "The sounds and rivers also took a beating with the worst damage on the Neuse ; Sea Grant offers a series of five colorful 23" x 35" posters depicting ero- sion in four of the state's major es- tuaries: Core/Bogue Sounds, Albemarle Sound, Pamlico River and Neuse River. The fifth poster, "Cause and Effect," explains the reasons for estuarine erosion. For a copy of the free posters, write UNC Sea Grant. Please specify which posters you want. Continued on next page.
