    NC science panel urges caution in use of hardened structures to protect coastline

    North Carolina's Coastal Resources Commission Science Panel advises caution in using hardened structures like seawalls and jetties to combat coastal erosion, noting adverse effects such as increased erosion in adjacent areas and reduced sand supply for beaches. The panel's report highlights tradeoffs between different shoreline stabilization methods, including terminal groins and beach nourishment, while lawmakers consider repealing a longstanding ban on seawalls.
