Saving Cape Hatteras Lighthouse from the Sea: Options and Policy Implications

摘要

The committee's task was to evaluate and develop several options for preserving Cape Hatteras Lighthouse from the encroaching Atlantic Ocean. The committee's charge was how best to preserve the lighthouse, not whether to preserve it. In an interim report to the National Park Service on October 14, 1987 the committee tentatively concluded that relocation was the best option for preserving the lighthouse. The final report reaffirms and expands on that evaluation.
