Abstract:
Recent research conducted at Black River's Three Sister Swamp has uncovered cypress revealing this tree population in North Carolina may be in the third millennium. Topping the age of “Methuselah,” 1,700 years old, are two trees, one 2,088 years old, the other 2,624 years old. Their value may manifest the N.C. Parks and Recreation Division’s proposal to construct a park that protects and showcases these trees.

Abstract:
The General Assembly passed a regulatory reform bill removing environmental protections from isolated wetlands that are under one acre in size. The bill will benefit coastal developers and lessen regulations for polluters. Wetlands store water, provide habitat for endangered species, and reduce flooding during tropical storms. Additional effects on wetlands are explored.

Abstract:
Cited as the third largest lake in North Carolina and home to endemic species, Lake Wacccamaw’s unique qualities include theories for its origins. Beliefs about the Carolina Bays’ creation range from the handiwork of meteors to the swimming patterns of its fish. As for the community surrounding the lake, Whiteville residents are also defined by the author as endemic. They thrive on small town values, such as tending to the town’s history and resisting a transformation into a tourist site.

Abstract:
PSC Phosphate, Inc., has applied to the Army Corps of Engineers for a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit to impact and fill wetlands and waters of the state for the purpose of continuing their mining operations along South Creek in eastern Beaufort County. A similar grant that allowed the company to impact over 1,200 acres of wetlands in 1997 resulted in the largest permitted destruction of wetlands in the history of the state. If the new permit is granted, the Pamlico River basin would lose 2,500 acres of high-quality wetlands.

Some wetlands, such as swamps and marshes, are easily identifiable. Others, though, are dry several months each year. Wet or dry, both must meet three criteria to be classified as a wetland: wetland vegetation, hydric (wet) soil, and water evidence.

Abstract:
As the state's economy has grown, upwards of 50 percent of its wetlands have been lost. This statistic is questionable, however, because of a lack of data on the original extent of wetlands and disagreement over when a wetland is actually lost.
