Purpose

The purpose of this site is twofold. We want to:

1. Inform North Topsail property owners and vacationers of a permanent solution to the erosion problems of our beaches.

2. Enlist your support for this solution by asking you to contact our elected officials at the appropriate time to demand their action.

Supporters will be notified when action is required. Please provide us with your contact information by clicking on the following link:

Many of you have probably heard of beach renourishment as a means to save our beaches. Beach renourishment is a euphemism for dredging. Dredging is extremely harmful to our environment, it is very expensive, and requires annual maintenance. Why does it require on-going maintenance? Because, quite simply, it doesn't work. Beach renourishment, like groins, jetties and other attempts at saving beaches fail because they attempt to battle the effects of nature. The forces of nature will always be greater. The information on this web site will show you how our beaches can rebuild themselves, safely, inexpensively and permanently by merely removing the damage done to them by man.

Please take a few moments to browse our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and read the latest news on what we are doing to move forward. If you have 20 minutes, you may be interested in the video we have that explains this new process. Simply click on the Video tab, but be prepared for a lengthy wait as the video caches to your system. If you have further questions, please email us at savethebeaches@charter.net,

As long as we remain silent, the local and state politicians won't help us. We need to be heard as a large group so that action will be taken to preserve our eroding beaches. Please register by filling out the form on the Signup page.
