Story & Experience
12 members of the Earth Listening Circles of the Deep Adaptation Forum visited places local to them and did an Earth Exchange, as part of a global collaboration to listen to wounded places.
This is the north end of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. The channel, at times, erodes into this area, reaching to the point we are standing as it’s actually a large sandbar rather than solid land on bedrock above the sea level. As this area was developing, the channel between the Intracoastal & The Atlantic was filled in just south of here connecting this barrier island, Shell Island, to Wrightsville. The removal of that channel creates a shift in the currents and creates erosion with sand deposited elsewhere. Occasionally, the town must dredge other areas to refill this portion of the island, saving the development at this site.
