Will Morgan, executive director of the North Carolina chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association, worked with the North Carolina General Assembly to help pass legislation creating a saltwater fishing license.

Fishing piers and the culture they engendered seem to be disappearing forever. Oak Island seeks to keep this tradition alive and provide public access to saltwater fishing through the purchase of the former Yaupon Pier.
