North Carolina has a vast and rich coastal ecosystem that many people depend on to make their living whether it is through fishing, farming or the support of recreational activities. The coastal program is not just limited to the sandy beaches of North Carolina’s coast, but also its extensive river system that empties into the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The coastal program focuses on collaboration and objective science to solve environmental problems in very tangible ways, on a scale meaningful to the general public.

With the large and continuing population shift to the South and to the coast along with climate change there is a real threat of loss of natural habitat. The coastal program in North Carolina has restored, protected or enhanced more than 36,000 acres of habitat important for rare plants and animals. Together with its partners it has restored fish access to more than 1,500 miles of river and streams through the removal of dams or the building of fish ladders. The Coastal Program in North Carolina along with its partners has been instrumental in the development of techniques that restore habitat such as new seedling technology for the Atlantic White cedar, a globally threatened ecosystem.
