Abstract:

Hurricanes in North Carolina affect people and wildlife. Hurricane Isabel, which struck eastern North Carolina in the fall of 2003, decimated the largemouth bass populations in the Roanoke and Chowan rivers. Jenkins describes the North Carolina Resources Commission's plan to restock the two rivers with 12,000 sub-adult largemouth bass. Restocking began in February 2004.
