Over a million cubic yards of sand have recently been added to Wrightsville Beach as part of a comprehensive beach renourishment effort to combat erosion and enhance storm protection along North Carolina's Cape Fear coast.

This episode of waterloopILM delves into the project with insights from Dave Connolly and Brennan Dooley of the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

They discuss the engineering strategies, environmental considerations, and the broader implications for coastal management in the region.

Additionally, the episode explores upcoming renourishment initiatives at Carolina and Kure Beaches, Ocean Isle, and Surf City, highlighting their critical role in strengthening coastal resilience and protecting local communities.
