Protecting the Outer Banks VIDEO

Dare County (NC) has released an in-depth and informative video titled, “The Fight to Protect the Outer Banks,” highlighting the serious erosion issues facing the Village of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, where rapid erosion and significant shoreline loss has led to multiple oceanfront homes collapsing into the Atlantic Ocean in recent years.

Featuring interviews with three key local officials—Dare County Manager Bobby Outten, Dare County Planning Director Noah Gillam and National Parks of Eastern North Carolina Superintendent Dave Hallac—the video addresses a variety of frequently asked questions about the situation.

Throughout the video, these experts offer valuable insights into the causes, impacts, and potential responses to the erosion and subsequent collapses, making the video a key resource for those who are interested in gaining a better understanding the complexities of this ongoing issue.

Additionally, the video aims to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the ongoing challenges and the contributing factors behind the erosion in Rodanthe—as well as the efforts that are being undertaken by various local agencies to prevent or mitigate the effects of future collapses.
