Environmental Button

Description:

In 1982 eight grassroots activist groups concerned with coastal issues banded together to form the nonprofit North Carolina Coastal Federation. They saw a need for a clearer vision of long-term coastal management. The establishment of wetland water quality standards and the restoration of estuaries were just two of the concerns addressed by this group.
