Been saying it for years, build a jetty on the south side of Oregon Inlet.

It would make a world of difference!

Great stories, but I think it's misleading to say that the Oregon inlet is the closest access to the sea from both Swan Quarter and Englehard. In fact both Ocracoke inlet and Hatteras inlets are closer. Measuring to the bar of each inlet, Englehard to: Oregon inlet = 36.8 miles Hatteras inlet = 27.3 miles Ocracoke inlet = 35 miles Swan Quarter to: Oregon inlet = 66.5 miles Hatteras inlet = 41.25 miles Ocracoke inlet = 35 miles

Most of the trawl boats can't get out of Hatteras or Ocracoke inlet. The captains I spoke with all use Oregon Inlet

@@CXCVIDEO Back in the late 80's when I was stationed there, Ocracoke was the deepest inlet on the Outer Banks. There were a couple of times that you could wade across Oregon inlet at low tide and not get your Shirt wet. Every time that happened, Ocracoke inlet got naturally dredged by the increased outflow. The permanence of Oregon inlet was a concern as far back as the late 1970's. Not that I don't think Oregon inlet should be maintained, but the reality is that there's only one inlet between Beaufort and Virginia that has been stable for the past 600+ years, and we've now spent too much money maintaining Oregon inlet to give up. Oregon inlet should have been given up on and allowed to close 50 years ago, but since we've decided to maintain it, do it properly.

As a transplant, thank you.
