Abstract:

Within a half a mile to two miles off the North Carolina coastline lie areas containing many varieties of sponges, fish, and other interesting forms of marine life. There is a movement underway to preserve these unique areas for future generations through the creation of designated natural areas. State designation means the area is permanently managed and protected and that no incompatible use would occur there. Three possible areas have been selected near New River and offshore Topsail Island and Masonboro Inlet.
