These pipelines were transporting dredged materials, sediment extracted from the channel, onto the shore as part of a beach restoration strategy: beneficial reuse. This past February, during the off-season, beach goers saw large pipelines lining the beaches of Fort Macon and dredge hoppers just offshore. I imagine that’s true for most people, but that may be changing. I have lived in North Carolina and been near the coast my entire life, but I’ve never given much thought to dredging.
