Abstract:
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Institute of Marine Sciences and Duke University’s Marine Lab are jointly developing ferry-based water quality monitoring as a regional and national tool for assessing estuarine and coastal ecosystem health. In 2000, following massive flooding that inundated Pamlico Sound from hurricanes, the North Carolina Department of Transportation helped establish a pilot water quality monitoring program using the ferries. The FerryMon Program provides a unique, long-term and cost-effective “real-time” observing system to evaluate status and trends in Albemarle-Pamlico system water quality.

Abstract:
The connection between a well known area of the Outer Banks and Beaufort County's capital was created physically. For many decades, ferries like the Bessie Virginia transported good between “Little Washington” and area known for its connection to Roanoke’s lost colony. It was also created emotionally, in the bonds between people interdependent on each other for survival.
