When the state announced earlier this month that it plans to look at improving access to the
existing port facilities in Wilmington instead of building a new terminal closer to the mouth of
the Cape Fear, officials also said they will look at modifying the alignment of the channel as it
passes by Bald Head Island.
Relocating that portion of the channel could help alleviate erosion on the Brunswick County
island's beaches.
Simmons agreed something needs to be done to curb the erosion problems on Bald Head Island,
but he added a change should not come at the expense of the beaches across the river.
He thinks all the parties can find a middle ground.
“It's going to take a lot of work to find out where that is,” he added. A judge would also have to
approve Oak Island and Caswell Beach's motion to intervene.
