Years back I used to surf fish on
Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina.
The fort's Artillery Battery 519--located under Henlopen's Great Dune, the largest sand hill between Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and
Cape Hatteras, North Carolina--is now home to the Fort Miles Museum.
Sea levels drop about 20 centimeters between the Florida Straits and northern Florida, eventually leveling out between North Carolina's
Cape Hatteras and Canada.
In 1999, the agency moved the 4,830-ton
Cape Hatteras Light Station nearly 3,000 feet inland to protect the 130-year-old structure from shoreline erosion.
The unknown Sailors were lost along with 14 of their shipmates when Monitor sank off
Cape Hatteras, N.C.
In fact, from North America, typical Aquarid rates are only 10 meteors per hour at 26 degrees north latitude (Miami, Fla., or Brownsville, Texas), 5 per hour at around 35 degrees latitude (Los Angeles, Calif., or
Cape Hatteras, N.C.) and practically zero to the north of 40 degrees (New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia).
The ship has finally come in for Cape Fear Community College (N.C.) After a nearly decade-long search for a new training vessel for the college's marine technology program, CFCC will acquire the nationally-known research vessel the R/V
Cape Hatteras. Currently located at the Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort, N.C., the 135-foot ship has served as a scientific research vessel for the National Science Foundation for more than 30 years.
A Coast Guard C-130 plane first made contact when the vessel was 90 miles southeast of

The report notes that the Cape Cod, Fire Island, Assateague Island, and
Cape Hatteras national seashores already are experiencing rates of sea-level rise well above the global average.
