Coastal Federation Publishes Guide for Docks and Piers Building Code

The North Carolina Coastal Federation has compiled a comprehensive guide to help local governments and coastal property owners understand new building codes for docks and piers.

The 2025 hurricane season marks the first since the state reinstated standards for residential docks and piers, prompting the creation of this guide.

The addition of these standards could help reduce harmful marine debris, since the majority of debris found post-storms has been attributed to poorly constructed docks and piers - Kerri Allen, Coastal Advocate.

Support from readers is crucial for Coastal Review to continue delivering award-winning coverage of the coast.
