Abstract:

The Beaufort County Voice of America radio transmission site from the Cold War is now owned by the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) due to it being an outdated form of communication. The WRC is going to make this site into game land to protect the Henslow’s sparrow, a bird endangered in some states, as many live on the land already. The land will also be used for hunting.

Abstract:

The Eno River has recently become full of hydrilla verticillata, an invasive species of aquatic weed from South Asia. It grows too plentifully in North Carolina, causing rivers to become sluggish, competing with local species, decreasing oxygen levels in rivers, amongst other things. The leaders of Eno State park are looking for ways to better contain hydrilla, with some success.
