Abstract:

One North Carolina Naturally (ONCN), the new conservation program of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, seeks to protect the state's diminishing open spaces. The plan is an attempt to focus nonprofit and government conservation efforts in three program areas: Green Lands, Blue Waters - protection of one million acres of land by 2010; Private Lands, Public Benefits - stewardship of natural resources on privately owned farms and forests; and Working on the Water - restoration of sounds and ocean habitats.

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.
