Abstract:

The North Carolina National Forests are organized into four administrative units. Nantahala is in the southwest, Pisgah in the north, Uwharrie in the Piedmont, and Croatan in the Coastal Plain. Headquarters are in Asheville. Over a million acres of national forests provide a reserve of timber and additional assets of wildlife, watershed protection, and valuable recreation within the state. Strode discusses the demands the state's increasing population will make over the next twenty-five years on the forests' ability to provide recreation, hunting, fishing, wood, and water.

Abstract:

Artificial reefs are used to increase fish habitats and areas for sports fishing. The state is constructing its first artificial fishing reef off the coast of New Hanover County between Masonboro Inlet and Carolina Beach. The reef will be about a mile in length and about 200 yards wide. It will rise twelve feet from the ocean floor. A combination of old automobile bodies and large household appliances are being used in the construction.
