Abstract:

Since its enactment in 1973, the Endangered Species Act has helped prevent the extinction of numerous plant and animal species. However, the law has also resulted in conflict. In North Carolina, there are controversies over sea turtles and freshwater fish because their protection interferes with development and fishing industry.
