A review by Duck, NC Sr. town planner, Sandy Cross, of the escarpment caused by dunes that are pummeled by intensifying storms. As climate change and a warmer ocean means more powerful hurricanes spiraling up the coast, these dunes may be this community's last buffer against wind and wave. This story focused on the work being done by DUNEX and the town of Duck.
