BHI Voters Approve Bond Referendum
At last Tuesday's Primary Election, 85% of Bald Head Island voters approved the Village's proposed bond referendum for shoreline protection efforts.
According to the Village, the project, slated to get underway in late winter of 2018, will look to place approximately 1 million cubic yards of sand beginning at the Terminal Groin and extending east along south beach. The project also includes the replacement of five (5) geotextile soft-filled tube groins that are damaged beyond repair. In terms of project costs, it is estimated at $15.5M, which required the approval of the $6M bond referendum to add to the existing $9.5M bond capacity carried over from approval of the 2014 bond referendum for shoreline management activities.
Detailed information will be forthcoming from the Village as work begins.

Wildlife Overlook Safeguard
After consultation with staff from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), the Village Public Safety Department and the BHI Conservancy, BHA's Board of Directors unanimously voted to install additional safeguards at the Wildlife Overlook located on Stede Bonnet. Fencing will be installed at the Overlook in late May that should help prevent interactions between alligators and humans at that site.
This action was taken primarily upon the advice of WRC staff, whose field tests showed the alligators at the Overlook showed no aversion to humans and, in fact, approached staff soon after arrival. WRC's analysis was that humans are likely feeding the wildlife at the site, and that additional safeguards should be installed to help reduce the danger both to humans and alligators.
