USGS, FWS Report Highlights Impacts of Sediment Management on Barrier Islands, Wildlife and Ecosystems
Release Date:
June 2, 2021
Coastal sediment management practices, such as dredging and beach nourishment, can have beneficial and detrimental impacts on the physical and ecological resiliency of barrier islands, particularly when sediment is removed from one barrier island system and placed in another, according to a report released today.
Developed by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the report provides resource managers valuable information they can use to evaluate impacts of sediment removal and placement within barrier islands, including those addressed by the Coastal Barrier Resources System. The CBRS is comprised of relatively undeveloped coastal barriers along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean and Great Lakes coasts that are depicted on a set of maps maintained by FWS.
With a plan to create new municipal districts for beach nourishment, homeowners in North Topsail Beach are concerned about how those taxes will be divided, while others want aldermen to focus on other improvements – instead of bringing more sand to the beach.
The town is looking at establishing two municipal service districts to cover beach erosion control, and protection work for floods and hurricanes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. According to a map, the districts will consist of a soundside and an oceanside, divided by Island Drive. Taxes from the district will help cover costs.
The estimated cost of the project, according to the Corps of Engineers, is more than $670 million for portions of Topsail Island, with cost being shared by the Corps, North Topsail Beach and nearby Surf City.
