The red-cockaded woodpecker has been on the endangered species list since 1970. In 1999, the North Carolina Department of Transportation purchased 9,732 acres in northeastern Tyrrell County for $16.5 million to establish a preserve. Currently 18 woodpecker colonies live there. The land is heavily forested and fronts the Albemarle Sound and Little Alligator River. Over the next 7 years the department will set aside $175 million for wetlands preservation, stream restoration, and wildlife protection.

The nature of interstate child support cases is complex regarding issues of jurisdiction, choice of laws, remedies, and practical problems deal with processing and communications. Given the increasing complexity and inherent difficulties in such cases, the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA) has been replaced with the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA).
