Abstract:

Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. asked the federal government to continue paying for maintenance dredging of Oregon Inlet, saying to do otherwise would threaten the fishing industry in northeastern North Carolina. The proposed 1983 budget which contains no money for the dredging would cause the inlet to close, and thereby shut down ongoing commercial fishing operations.
