• Audubon Statement: NC Bills Would Weaken Coastal Protections for our Beaches (audubon.org) — Issued from Garner, Audubon North Carolina is warning that two state Senate bills would roll back the long-standing ban on hardened coastal structures like seawalls and jetties. The group argues these projects are costly, ineffective, and could worsen erosion and risks for coastal communities, urging residents to pay attention as lawmakers debate the future of North Carolina’s beaches.
