Abstract:
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development are cooperating to produce inventory maps of the state’s coastal wetlands, and the cooperative agreement has been renewed. The maps will classify wetlands by an updated and expanded system which is applicable to all wetlands, not just those that provide habitat for waterfowl.

Abstract:
Researchers at North Carolina State University recommend that agricultural producers in coastal North Carolina continue to use wetlands to filter sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus from water drained from agricultural fields despite evidence that artificial flooding will change the nature of wetland forests. Their recent studies suggest some guidelines for more effectively using wetland buffers to remove pollutants from agricultural drainage.

Abstract:
Several studies in North Carolina are exploring the use of wetlands to aid in the removal of nutrients in municipal wastewater. The results of the studies are expected to have important implications for managers who permit discharges from municipal wastewater treatment facilities and package treatment plants.

Abstract:
Duke University has established a center dedicated to the study of the ecology and management of wetlands. Among the issues to be examined is how to manage wetland ecosystems to sustain functional ecological processes and habitats while allowing compatible development on adjacent landscapes.

Abstract:
According to a recent report by the Water Quality Section of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, half of North Carolina’s original coastal wetlands acreage is functionally impaired. The report considers that wetlands impacted by agriculture and urban development are nonsupporting, while those impacted by forestry are partially supporting.

Abstract:
Cited as the third largest lake in North Carolina and home to endemic species, Lake Wacccamaw’s unique qualities include theories for its origins. Beliefs about the Carolina Bays’ creation range from the handiwork of meteors to the swimming patterns of its fish. As for the community surrounding the lake, Whiteville residents are also defined by the author as endemic. They thrive on small town values, such as tending to the town’s history and resisting a transformation into a tourist site.

Abstract:
Recent research conducted at Black River's Three Sister Swamp has uncovered cypress revealing this tree population in North Carolina may be in the third millennium. Topping the age of “Methuselah,” 1,700 years old, are two trees, one 2,088 years old, the other 2,624 years old. Their value may manifest the N.C. Parks and Recreation Division’s proposal to construct a park that protects and showcases these trees.
