The National Park Service (NPS) has approved a plan aimed at stabilizing the shoreline at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. The decision, which was signed off by South Atlantic-Gulf Acting Regional Director Darrel Echols on January 14, 2026, follows an environmental assessment that found no significant impact from the proposed Shoreline Stabilization for Erosion Control project.
The plan has been developed to address ongoing erosion issues at the historic site, which have been threatening the integrity of the park’s resources. The approved strategy will implement measures to control erosion and protect the site from potential damage caused by natural elements.
The approval of the plan is a significant step towards preserving the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site for future generations. The NPS is committed to protecting and preserving the nation’s historic and natural resources, and this plan is a clear demonstration of that commitment. The implementation of the erosion control measures will ensure the continued enjoyment and educational value of the site for visitors.
