Abstract:
Airplanes became the solution to open new territory for avid duck hunters. During the early 20th century, hunting for fowl was popular and traditional sport along the Outer Banks. So predominate was the sport that by the 1940s fowl populations were already dwindling, pushing hunters to more remote areas accessible only by plane. It was during this period the government began to regulate the number of birds bagged in a given season to protect the diminishing populations of ducks and geese that landed on the eastern shore of North Carolina.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing the detailed information that the North Carolina Wildlife Commission has on the striped bass. The first thing discussed by the author is that striped bass are androgynous and different parts of their life they in live in freshwater and saltwater. Striped bass move to fresh water to spawn and reproduce and the Roanoke River is where this occurs in North Carolina. The path the striped bass follows is Atlantic Ocean, Albemarle Sound, and then the Roanoke River to spawn. The striped bass will then spend around two to four years maturing in the Albemarle Sound before venturing off into the Atlantic Ocean. When the spawn hatch the currents will take them to the Roanoke River then to the Albemarle Sound. Since the life span of striped bass is around twenty years the process of migrating is repeated multiple time throughout their life. The striped bass is considered a popular sport fish but this would lead to them being over fished which occurred between 1970 and 1980. This lead to strict regulations to help increase the fish population. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was appointed to manage the striped bass.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing the diamondback rattlesnakes that live in North Carolina and what aspects contribute to their decline. The diamondback rattlesnake mainly resides in the longleaf pine tree forests. The diamondback rattlesnake takes up residence in burrows created by gopher tortoise. In the event there are no gopher tortoise burrows’ around the diamondback must find large and deep tree stumps which mainly are found in old longleaf pine forests. Another factor contributing the decline of the diamondback rattlesnake is the reproductive rates of the species is that females tend to reproduce twice in their life time and they produce a litter of six to ten neonates but the species can have up to thirty. During pregnancy the female snakes lose half their body weight which is dangerous for the health of the snake. After giving birth to a litter the female tends to not be able to give birth to another litter for at least two to six years. Diamondback rattlesnakes require large areas as their habitat but only 1-3% of longleaf pine forests that still exist. Lastly, the diamondback rattlesnake has been historically persecuted by humans due to their size and also them being venomous. The author states that yes a bite would require immediate medical attention but the snake are not a threat to humans as long as they are left alone.

Abstract:
Lab results from The Cape Fear River, in North Carolina, have shown that upstream alligators in Wilmington have an increased level of per-and-polyfluoroalkyl (a group of chemicals used to resist heat, oil, stains, and water). Researchers are worried about these reptiles becoming more susceptible to infections and unhealed lesions.
