SUMMARY:Marine Debris Clean Up at Morris Landing
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Morris Landing Clean Water Preserve for a hands-on marine debris cleanup to protect our coastal waters! This event will coincide with the Southeast district’s Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Program\, offering a great opportunity to not only remove debris from the shoreline but also learn about efforts to recover lost crab pots and other fishing gear that can harm wildlife\, damage habitat\, and create hazards for boaters. \n\n\n\nEach year\, the North Carolina Coastal Federation partners with N.C. Marine Patrol and commercial watermen and women to remove lost fishing gear from coastal waters during the annual blue crab harvest closure. In early 2025\, crews collected 2\,136 crab pots across the northeast\, central\, and southeast coasts—helping keep our waterways safer and healthier. \n\n\n\nNo special skills are needed—just bring your enthusiasm! Please dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty\, wear closed-toe shoes\, and bring a reusable water bottle\, hat\, and sunglasses. We’ll provide gloves\, boots\, trash pickers\, and trash bags\, along with basic instruction at the start. \n\n\n\nParking\, restrooms\, and refreshments will be available on-site.Support for this cleanup is provided by the NC Commercial Fishing License Resource Fund and NOAA Marine Debris. \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Join!\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto by: Julian Coley\n\n\n\nPhoto by: Julian Coley\n\n\n\nPhoto by: Julian Coley

SUMMARY:Bradley Creek Elementary School Rain Garden Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Help the North Carolina Coastal Federation staff and volunteers maintain the rain garden at Bradley Creek Elementary School in Wilmington. This project is part of the Bradley and Hewletts Creeks Watershed Restoration Plan\, aimed at reducing polluted runoff that flows into the creeks. Rain gardens and wetlands play a crucial role in filtering runoff\, protecting water quality\, preventing swim advisories and shellfish closures\, reducing flood risks\, and providing wildlife habitats. \n\n\n\nVolunteers will remove invasive plants\, pull weeds\, prune trees\, and spread mulch in the existing rain gardens. All tools\, supplies\, snacks\, and refreshments will be provided. This event is open to the public and suitable for all ages. Whether you want to get your hands dirty or simply learn how to protect your local creeks\, join us for a fun\, educational day! The rain garden also serves as a living classroom for students to learn about water quality and stormwater pollution solutions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
