The N.C. Coastal Resources Commission today voted to recommend specific considerations that must be met if the N.C. General Assembly should desire to lift some of the current limitations on permanent erosion control structures on North Carolina’s ocean and inlet shorelines.

The recommendation was made based on the commission’s recent study of the feasibility and advisability of the use of a terminal groin as an erosion control structure in coastal North Carolina.
