Abstract:
In the early 1970s, North Carolina began its fight against excess nutrient pollution, algae blooms and fish kills in the Chowan River. Since then, there have been consistent research and monitoring of the river’s water quality. Today, the Chowan River is a lot healthier and there has been a notable decrease in algal blooms. Long-term efforts in the Neuse River should result in similar success as the Chowan River.
