Introduction
Often, we overlook where our water comes from; a knob is turned and water flows out. Under normal conditions this is an expected part of daily life, but for the past few months our region has not been under normal conditions. North Carolina is currently facing its worst drought in almost two decades.
Intro to the Award
The Order of the Long Leaf Pine award was created in 1963 to recognize residents of North Carolina who have made a tremendous impact on their community through their service and accomplishments.
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is the often-unsung hero of a host of environmental benefits including water quality maintenance, carbon storage, and sedimentation management in estuaries. Wild celery is a type of SAV, or underwater grass, at the center of an environmental education project called Growing Wild Celery to SAVe Our Wetlands: A Grassroot Collaborative.
2025 NEP Watersheds Grant – Request for Proposals Available Now
Restore America’s Estuaries is pleased to announce the 2025 funding cycle for the National Estuaries Program (NEP) Watersheds Grants. This year, in partnership with the U.S.
North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) is the leader behind one of North Carolina’s newest environmental stewardship and restoration projects set to begin this fall. Partially funded by APNEP’s Engagement and Stewardship Grant, "Experiencing the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuary: Fostering Watershed Stewardship" plans to engage multiple communities in native species plantings and a wetland restoration project in hopes to elevate collective environmental knowledge and appreciation among community members while reviving ecologically rich habitats.
In 2024-2025, Shad in the Classroom will involve 2,500 students from 31 classes, with over 300 students coming from Title I schools. Around 1,000 of these students will release the fry into the Neuse River and all will learn directly from experts about the immense value of the American Shad.
Ghost forests will only become more obvious to those living on the coast as temperatures and sea level rises, droughts become more frequent, and groundwater becomes saltier. Providing coastal communities with scientific background to the issues they are facing can create more informed awareness of environment changes.
A research coordination network (RCN) has been focused on understanding saltwater intrusion and sea-level rise (SWISLR) as a whole. The primary goal of the SWISLR network is to build a connective intellectual network where new research and ideas can be supported and disseminated easily.
