3:25 - Beach is cleaner because you don't have to worry about bacteria count. LOL. The causes of the bacteria warnings at beaches are due to rain events that cause the wastewater treatment plant to overflow, and unprocessed sewage overflows into the body of water that it discharges into. This happens everywhere there is a WWTP, a rain event, and currents that push the discharge toward the beach. I love how all of these coastal communities blame climate change when it is their own activities that are causing the problems. When the storms such as 1962 dump a 5-foot layer of sand across the island it is how the islands were formed in the first place. Then, they remove all of that sand and later wonder where the sand all went!!! Insanity and denial.
I love driving out to enjoy Pacific Coast 1 for 2 years while my daughter was a student at Pepperdine University.. I witnessed many mud slides with Mansions on that coast. And our favorite place to eat was the Charter House where the movie stars love to eat over looking the ocean.
New bridge... short term solution... already built. RIP OBX... However if they remove R-12... maybe the OBX can self-replenish the way it was meant to do... and we can enjo it for generations to come. Other plans would include modular buildings... nothing with a foundation... something we should have considered generations ago, if we had known better. P.S. I wish they left structure from the old bridge as a pedestrian fishing structure.
I can't get over how quick it is happening.
Well yeah they seriously replenish every single year so with inn a year it would be obvious
The environmental problems we face are increasing exponentially while we our policy solutions and funding are linear.
pretty scary when you think of global warming and our storms too
Sold my Nags Head property while it is still worth something. Sooner or later the ocean will win the war.
I will never drive through there again. Just glad I was able to enjoy the coast when I did.
Good we don't want you to cone back

Spent much of my youth at OBX. Love it - would live there now if I could

Leave it alone. All those houses falling into the ocean is polluting it.
Stop fighting nature

How does anyone without a boat enjoy the OBX without R-12?
Modular building without a foundation. So we can watch it float out to the ocean at the next storm?
750 million $$$ a year spent here ,build the long bridge ,no ifs ands or buts .
Job security for all using that tax money! Why build smart.

Forget a bridge. Go back to ferries nd boat trafgic; and some people ought to see the big picture and consider moving
Fools in flood zones
Rising sea levels, hahaha yeah right
