Abstract:
Organizations interested in becoming better caretakers to North Carolina’s 1700 watersheds created the North Carolina Watershed Stewardship Network. In addition to workshops, the Network has engaged in initiatives such as obtaining feedback from communities about research, education, and training support needed to resolve water-resource issues. Also affirming the Network’s necessity was water-related stories shared by the North Carolina Sea Grant staff and friends, told in words and photos.

Abstract:
Following a three-year effort to improve coastal land-use planning, the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission adopted changes to Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) land-use planning guidelines in October. CAMA requires the twenty coastal counties to prepare land-use plans, but planning is optional for municipalities in those counties. The new guidelines offer three levels of plans that give local governments flexibility to meet local needs, while seeking to improve protection of coastal water quality.

Abstract:
Much of the aesthetic, economic, and biological significance of the coastal zone is dependent on the maintenance of high water quality. However, many of the ways in which people enjoy and exploit coastal resources create disruptions in the natural system, jeopardizing the health of the coastal environment. Although storm water plays an important and indisputable role in declining water quality, it is an ambiguous culprit. Programs undertaken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented storm water regulations to manage coastal water quality.
