Abstract:

The Cape Fear River rises near Greensboro and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Wilmington. The entire river basin covers over 9,000 square miles. Along the waterway lie 107 cities and towns and a population of almost two million. Preserving the water quality requires cooperation and flexibility among many groups. Smith discusses current plans to protect the waterway.
