Water in NC: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Tar Heel Coast — The Envy of the World
The Tar Heel coast is shallow and beautiful. Our coastal region also includes one of the largest and most productive estuarine systems in America. With increased development pressures and a changing climate, both the tourism industry and people who fish for a living face new challenges. Maintaining clean water and protecting coastal assets are important, not just to coastal residents, but to all.
