Abstract:
North Carolina's estuarine region covers two million acres. Only Alaska and Louisiana have more extensive estuarine areas than North Carolina, and no state is destroying the productivity of its estuaries as rapidly as this state. In the past fifteen years, almost one-third of the state's prime coastal marshlands have been destroyed. Davis discusses why this area is important to the state's economy, how development is affecting it, and possible approaches to saving the area.

Abstract:
Estuaries are areas where fresh water flowing towards the coast meets the oceans salt water and these natural havens account for 2,000,000 acres of the state's tidal area. The author presents an argument for the protection of these areas not only for natural splendor but contribution to the fishing industry -- a $100,000,000 industry for the state.

Abstract:
Dave Owens is the former director of the Division of Coastal Management. Owens helped create the Estuarine Sanctuary Program and pushed coastal-development regulation. Committed to protecting North Carolina’s coastal habitats and communities who depend on those habitats, Owens worked hard to resist pressure to weaken regulations for developers. He was forced out of his position and now works at UNC’s Institute for Government, but continues to be a role model for coastal management leaders.
