The process has changed in the maintenance of shallow water inlets like the Lockwood Folly that separates Holden Beach and Oak Island. The Inlet is a extremely important public resource economically, environmentally and ocean water rescue wise. Boater registration went up in 2016 and money by the state is being set aside for this. The state will put up 2x what the county designates to this cause. To get support from our government agencies at the county, local and state level we need all the signatures and comments we can collect. The inlet is now very dangerous and recent surveys shows outer bar 2ft at high tide. . Please join us in signing this petition to have Brunswick County, Holden Beach, Oak Island and the State of North Carolina to allocate funds to dredge a navigable channel.
