Abstract:

Mercury is one of the earth's most poisonous substances. Coal-fired power plants, medical and municipal incinerators, and some mercury-using, chemical manufacturing plants contribute highly to North Carolina's mercury pollution problems. Because of elevated mercury levels in fish over the past decade, the state has issued advisories to avoid eating fish in ten eastern streams and one species in the Atlantic Ocean.

Prioli, Carmine

Abstract:

The Great Storm of August 1899, and a follow-up one in October of the same year, drove residents of Core and Shackleford Banks from their homes forever. Many settled in Morehead City, Salter Path, and Harkers Island. Prioli recounts the history of these hardy people and how they used their native skills to survive.
