Abstract:
Through unique culture and ecosystems, North Carolina's coastal communities offer varied assets, but these assets also create unique challenges. Population growth and decrease are happening in coastal counties, as well as changes to job composition and commuting. Therefore, there are also changing coastal transportation needs, giving priority to coastal highways, bridges, and ferries.

Abstract:
Historically considered a fine seafood along the East Coast, sturgeon populations collapsed in the early 20th century while those indigenous to North Carolina--Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon--are endangered species. However, two North Carolina businesses are again culturing Russian sturgeon, selling its caviar and meat. To make the fish more popular to markets which are now unfamiliar with it, North Carolina Sea Grant projects aim to aid chefs and biologists bringing sturgeon to the masses.

Abstract:
North Carolina's coastal region is home to a rich African-American history with locations that reflect the highs and lows for this group during and after slavery. For example, the Great Dismal Swamp became a place of refuge for those seeking freedom before and during the American Civil War as part of the Maritime Underground Railroad. Other places on this route, such as Wilmington, are known for their role in slavery, while James City is known as a place populated by freed blacks.
