Disappearing beaches Grim examples Role of beaches Solving beach erosion? ... Update: Flooded Island The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has movin' on its mind.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse photos courtesy of International Chimney Corporation Think you've seen coastal erosion? Check out this 577k QuickTime movie! Movie courtesy of U.S. Geological Survey Invited to the house-warming? 22 JULY 1999. If you need some second-hand boxes, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the place to look. After all, the 208-foot tall landmark was just hauled more than a quarter-mile back from its former perch, where it was threatened by the encroaching sea. And the end of every big move, we know, is signaled by a curbside littered with cardboard. The lighthouse went a'truckin' after coastal erosion chewed away about 1,300 feet of beach, bringing the waves to within 150 feet of the 4,800-ton sentinel. When the light was erected in 1870, it stood about 1,500 feet back from the waves. (Need a map of the area?)
