Abstract:
In the early 1970s, North Carolina began its fight against excess nutrient pollution, algae blooms and fish kills in the Chowan River. Since then, there have been consistent research and monitoring of the river’s water quality. Today, the Chowan River is a lot healthier and there has been a notable decrease in algal blooms. Long-term efforts in the Neuse River should result in similar success as the Chowan River.

Abstract:
The mystery around the Chowan River was two-fold: Lost Colonists of Roanoke Island; Dorothie, whose remains are believed discovered in Bennett’s Creek. Both parts of the mystery are examined in Don Upchurch’s In Pursuit of Dorothie, the Lost Colony Ship. Part investigation, part speculation, it explores a three-fold explanation for the two-fold mystery. The Dorothie transported the Colonists out of Roanoke, which means they survived beyond 1590, thus offering Croatan a meaning not related to death, but a new life.
