Abstract:

Off the shore of Hatteras Island in Dare County, North Carolina, there has long stood a mysterious ship that has welcomed locals, tourists, and scientists to its viewing. Nathan Richards, director of Maritime Studies at East Carolina University, and his team of graduate students have studied the wreckage, concluding that the mystery vessel was originally a Word War II gunboat.

Abstract:

The Coastal Landscapes Initiative (CLI) has created a guide known as "Plant This Instead" to inform coastal property owners, landscapers, and designers about eco-harmful plants. The guide also provides readers on suggestions on alternative choices of beautiful "eco-friendly plants that may fill the the same purpose."

Abstract:

Lab results from The Cape Fear River, in North Carolina, have shown that upstream alligators in Wilmington have an increased level of per-and-polyfluoroalkyl (a group of chemicals used to resist heat, oil, stains, and water). Researchers are worried about these reptiles becoming more susceptible to infections and unhealed lesions.
