		As with most natural tidal inlets, OI has seen these dynamic changes since its opening in 1846, and has migrated more than two miles south of its original location.

		OREGON INLET, North Carolina (CNN) -- A key lifeline to North Carolina's ocean fishing industry soon may be cut off in a dispute pitting those who want nature to take its course against others who favor human intervention.
		Oregon Inlet is the only waterway directly linking the Atlantic Ocean to the placid Albemarle Sound, where the area's sport and commercial fishing boats are moored.
		But the inlet -- and the livelihood of the fishermen who use it -- are at the mercy of nature, which is clogging the narrow passageway with sand.

		Not only would jetties interfere with the inlet’s natural movement south and damage hundreds of acres of shoreline, they don’t make economic sense: The jetty project, they say, would amount to a more than $500,000 subsidy for each of the 215 fishing boats that regularly use the inlet.
		Regardless, experts say, the future of Oregon Inlet, which is moving south 70 feet a year, depends on continued dredging at a cost of about $4 million a year.
		By the time Oregon Inlet was dredged and reopened several months later, interest in the seafood park had nearly vanished.
