					<description><![CDATA[<p>We’ve been enjoying a busy spring, and an even busier summer is on the way. Big things are on the horizon this month – our Shellfish Mariculture Hub broke ground in Carteret County, the Federation also welcomed a new team member, and we’ve got a number of great events coming up. We’re also getting closer and closer to moving into our new Center for Coastal Protection and Restoration. With so much going on, we can’t wait to see you at the coast!</p>
