Here is a National Public Radio story on the controversy surrounding a proposal to move the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The local residents propose building one or more groins to "protect" the lighthouse, but the Park Service wants to move it.

1. How did the locals suggest "protecting" the Hatteras lighthouse in contrast to moving it (which is what the Park Service eventually did)?

2. Give evidence to illustrate problems with the local residents' proposal.
