Consistent alongshore trends in the shoreline change rate are evident 

 only from Virginia Beach south to the Virginia-North Carolina border and for 

 about 15 km north of Cape Hatteras. Other areas experienced variable rates of 

 shoreline change. The highest average shoreline change rate, about -2.0 m/year, 

 occurred between 1917 and 1949. From about 1850 to 1917, the shoreline change 

 rate averaged -0.1 m/year, and for the past 30 years it has averaged about 

 -0.8 m/year.
