The new maps show low erosion rates in front of some properties that clearly are threatened by erosion. Why?
The rates and maps were calculated using photographs taken in 1998. In communities such as North Topsail Beach and Emerald Isle, sudden shifts by inlets since 1998 have eroded the beach in front of some houses. DCM recognizes that dramatic changes in shoreline can occur whether because of shifting inlets or major storms in a short amount of time. The division s staff is working on methods to reflect shoreline-change rates over a shorter period of time.
