Abstract:
At one time dredging by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the North Carolina's inlets and Intracoastal Waterway was a year-round project to keep the navigable channels open for fishing and related businesses. Now Congress and the current federal administration are intent on getting out of the dredging business. Many legislators feel it is the job of the coastal states to keep their waterways clear. Efforts by North Carolina's U.S. Senators Dole and Burr, and Congressman Walter Jones to add more dredging money to the budget have been unsuccessful. Six of the state Congressional delegation did not support Dole, Burr, and Jones in their attempt to add more dredging money. Leutze outlines an approach to educate representatives within North Carolina and without on the importance of keeping these waterways cleared.

Abstract:
Leutze continues his series on coastal aquaculture by discussing two different, but successful, programs. One is a large-scale project at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The program began in 1998 under the direction of Dr. Wade Watanabe, a research professor at UNCW's Center for Marine Science. Watanabe coordinates the center's aquaculture programs. The other program is smaller and was started by Jeff Wolfe, an enterprising local fisherman.

Abstract:
The real estate boom along North Carolina's coasts is changing not only the tax evaluation there but also the very quality and character of life that brought people there in the first place. Leutze continues to prod officials and citizens to take action to save the coastline by increasing funds for land and water conservation and historic preservation. The price tag would cost $1 billion and is opposed by realtors, developers, and restaurant owners. Leutze discusses ways to raise the money.
