Abstract:
Wilson Bay is a cove in the Neuse River in Onslow County. Jacksonville residents made it a priority to cleanup the filthy, contaminated 126-acre bay from which most aquatic life had disappeared and which waterfowl had abandoned for better feeding grounds. The cleanup solution, offered by Jay Levine, associate professor of epidemiology and public health at North Carolina State University, was to introduce oysters into the brackish waters. Moore discusses this approach and its results.
