🪃 🏝 those birds tho!! 🦅🦅

Here’s a little miniature barrier island at mouth of Chadwick Bay...think of how many hurricanes and nor’easters it’s withstood over the decades...how has the weather reshaped, built, and eroded this little scrap of land...and how vital places like this are in compilation to our coastal ecosystem writ large.

🛳 More from the USS North Carolina (BB55) shoot. 🛸

This was a challenge not only because of the size of the ship but also the way the sky matched her colors. Really epic repairs underway which you can see in the first pic with the visible cofferdam, and in the second the SECU Memorial Walkway. 🛳 🛳 🙌

From the website www.battleshipnc.com:

The Battleship’s hull has critical structural issues that must be addressed immediately. Since coming to her berth in 1961, 60 years of wind and water at the tide line have left the hull paper-thin in places. Her last major dry docking and repair work was done in 1953. She is sitting in 30 feet of river silt, but this silt has actually helped to preserve the bottom better than at the wind-water line.

** The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA remains open to the public during construction and repairs **

THE BASICS
Cofferdam

A cofferdam is a watertight structure built to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out, creating a dry work environment.
The Battleship cofferdam enables workers to repair and restore the ship’s corroded hull, which is paper-thin in places.
The cofferdam was constructed by Orion Marine Group of Norfolk, Va.

Cofferdam stats

50 feet tall
1,909 feet long around perimeter
1,206 steel sheet piles
229 vertical steel H-piles, 55 feet long
229 battered steel H-piles, 60 feet long
4.6 million pounds of steel (2,300 tons)
4 slide gate weirs: 10 feet, 6 inches tall by 6 feet wide

I feel like there’s a better way to do this... 🤔

How is it the NC Department of Transportation and can’t figure out how to pick up or work with the organization who’s signed up as the sponser BEFORE the mowers come through and shred everything into bits. They mowed over the little signs people out on intersection corners...now instead of a few pieces of trash there are thousands, and more likely to blow into waterways and forests. We must do better.

🦪 Top down of an oyster reef/bed just off the ICW in Hampstead. Tons of these little connectors are so vital to the health of our coastline. While oysters are regularly harvested for our consumption, their real value is as filter feeders which critical to maintaining a healthy coastal ecosystem. Aren’t they awesome?!?!
