Abstract:
Getting to be a ship's captain is not easy. It takes years of experience at sea; a whole series of promotions along the way, from able-bodied seaman, to mate, then on to master and then captain. At each step, there are manuals to be studied, practicums to be passed and tests to be taken. And then you have to wait for a position to open up. It doesn't sound like a route for the impatient or the uncommitted. But two driven women have succeeded to the rank of ferry boat captains in North Carolina's Navy, despite all the odds.

Abstract:
Along the North Carolina coast a hostile relationship exists between recreational and commercial fishermen. Each group for their own reasons fears the other and what they might do. Leutze discusses some of the perceptions the two groups have of each other. For example, commercial fishermen feel recreational ones are insufficiently regulated, while they have to deal with all kinds of rules, regulations, and quotas. Recreational fishermen think that commercial people are unconcerned about exploiting the fisheries. Leutze suggests airing these perceptions to reach a middle ground. For example, commercial fishermen do care about the fisheries because their livelihood depends on them.

Abstract:
Plans are underway to develop a mega seaport just above Southport. The port will be four times as large as Wilmington and rival Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia. The new port will handle two million containers a year and have space for four ships to dock at a four-thousand-foot structure. The North Carolina Ports Authority is negotiating for 600 acres of land to start the project, but the acreage is only the beginning. Land will be needed for roads, railroads, and storage facilities to support the port. On the downside is what might occur to the fragile eco-structure of the area. Although the port is years away, Leutze argues for taking a hard look at planning instead of taking the approach of “Let's build it and see what happens.â€

Abstract:
In this article Leutze continues his examination of the project to develop a mega seaport just above Southport. The port will be four times as large as the current one at Wilmington and rival Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia. The new port will handle two million containers a year and have space for four ships to dock at a four-thousand-foot structure. He gives an in-depth look at the issues involving the planned super port. One issue is the needed cooperation between North and South Carolina, the two states that will be mightily affected by the international port.
