Author(s):
Abstract:
Drought, high, salinities, extended higher water temperatures, and low-turbidity due to a lack of ocean storms created conditions in 2007 that attracted a nuisance invasive called animal grass to the coastline from Carteret to Dare Counties. Angione describes this invasive that caused fishermen problems by closing fishing nets.
