Abstract:

North Carolina fishermen and seafood dealers are feeling high competition from foreign imports. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration) reports the 91 percent of the country's seafood is foreign. In 2004 Carteret County fishermen joined with restaurant owners and seafood dealers to fight back, forming Carteret Catch to promote local seafood. Others counties like Brunswick and the outer Banks soon followed.
