This reprint of a report prepared by the US Army Engineer District, Wilmington, documents a monitoring program to assess the effectiveness of SEASCAPE®, an artificial seaweed for temporarily stabilizing the shoreline fronting the light house at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This study is part of a larger effort requested by the National Park Service to develop a long-term protection plan for the lighthouse. The monitoring program consisted of aerial photography, beach profile surveys, reconnaissance dives, and ground photography. Although considerable accretion occurred during the monitoring period, the accumulation was the result of a general buildup of the beach which averaged 25 ft over the 6.1-mile study area. There was no conclusive evidence to link the buildup to the 5,000 ft of SEASCAPE® which was deployed in October and November 1982. Moreover, it was not possible to attribute burial of the SEASCAPE® to the action of the artificial seaweed versus burial by normal wave-driven migration of sand. The units themselves were found to deteriorate and to fragment with whole units and parts of units washing up on the beach.
