  • 1 the Outer Banks Brogue Overview North Carolina's Outer Banks Is
    The Outer Banks Brogue “We’re losing our heritage basically. I mean…we’re going from a fishing community to more like a tourism community…And you don’t realize it, but you slowly adapt to a new way of life. And it ain’t nothing negative, but it ain’t nothing positive.” –Bubby Boos, resident of Ocracoke Island Overview North Carolina’s Outer Banks is one of the most geographically, historically, and culturally distinct areas in the state and along the entire Atlantic Seaboard. In this lesson, students will explore one of the more distinctive aspects that makes the North Carolina coastal area so culturally rich – its dialect. For several centuries, the small villages dotting the barrier islands of North Carolina and the adjacent coastal mainland harbored one of the most distinctive varieties of English in the United States, the so-called “Outer Banks Brogue.” Through reading, discussion, and interaction with audio and visual clips, students will not only have the chance to hear the Brogue, but also begin to think about how the history and geography of North Carolina resulted in such diverse language qualities. Students will culminate their exploration by experimenting with a long-time Outer Banks tradition – storytelling – in which they practice integrating some of the unique words and pronunciations of the region. Grade 8 NC Essential Standards • 8.H.3.2 - Explain how changes brought about by technology and other innovations affected individuals and groups in North Carolina and the United States. • 8.H.3.4 - Compare historical and contemporary issues to understand continuity and change in the development of North Carolina and the United States.

  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology
    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.

  • 2021 Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project: Call for Working Water Assistance
    2021 Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project: Call for Working Water Assistance Applications Accepted Until December 15, 2020 The North Carolina Coastal Federation is currently accepting applications for “on-water” cleanup assistance relating to its annual Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project. This project is open to commercial watermen and women in North Carolina. This project is funded by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission Commercial Resource Fund Committee and the Funding Committee for the N.C. Commercial Resource Fund under the Commercial Fishing Resource Fund Grant Program and is intended to improve habitat, water quality and support coastal economies. Eligible participants are selected for involvement in this program to help the federation and N.C. Marine Patrol remove lost fishing gear from coastal waters during the “no-potting” period. In January 2019, commercial watermen and women in partnership with Marine Patrol officers removed 3,112 pots from select areas in Districts 1, 2, and 3. The 2021 project will take place in select areas within all three Marine Patrol Districts statewide, during the closed seasons: o Jan. 1-31 north of the Highway 58 bridge to Emerald Isle o March 1-15 south of the Highway 58 bridge Compensation is $450 per boat per day. A captain and mate are required for each boat. Captain refers to the individual who is in charge of and provides the vessel. (A merchant mariner credential is not required for this project.) To be considered, captains must have a valid North Carolina standard commercial fishing license (SCFL). A copy of the license must be submitted with this application.

  • Extent of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Metric Report High-Salinity Estuarine Waters
    EXTENT OF SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION METRIC REPORT HIGH-SALINITY ESTUARINE WATERS Extent of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation High-Salinity Estuarine Waters Metric Report Don Field 1, Jud Kenworthy 1, Dean Carpenter 2 INTRODUCTION Why Is the Extent of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Important Within the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System? Underwater vascular plants are key components of aquatic ecosystems. They play multiple roles in keeping Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System (APES) waters healthy by providing habitat, food, and shelter for aquatic life; absorbing and recycling nutrients and filtering sediment; and acting as a barometer of water quality (Thayer et al. 1984). More commonly called “submerged aquatic vegetation” (SAV), these plants enrich shallow aquatic environments around the world, providing sanctuaries for mollusks, crustaceans, and finfish as well as sustenance for waterfowl (Bergstrom et al. 2006). SAV includes marine, estuarine, and riverine vascular plants that are rooted in sediment (NCDEQ 2016) and is one of five types of aquatic plants in APES waters, the others being floating aquatic vegetation, emergent aquatic vegetation, micro- and macroalgae, and blue-greens (cyanobacteria) (Bergstrom et al. 2006). Because SAV are rooted in anaerobic sediments, they need to produce a large amount of oxygen to aerate the roots, and therefore have the highest light requirements of all aquatic plants (NCDEQ 2016). SAV can become stressed by eutrophication and other environmental conditions which impair water transparency and/or diminish the oxygen content of water and sediments. The plant’s response to these factors enables them to be sensitive bio-indicators of environmental health (Biber et al. 2004). While more than 500 species of SAV inhabit the world’s rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans (Bergstrom et al.

  • II. Data Acquisition the Identification and Collection of Pertinent Data Is Critical to the Understanding of Any Natural System
    NC BEACH AND INLET MANAGEMENT PLAN FINAL REPORT ______________________________________________________________________________________ II. Data Acquisition The identification and collection of pertinent data is critical to the understanding of any natural system. The nature of the beaches and inlets along the coast are influenced by a wide array of factors that include geology, sediment characteristics, waves, currents, water levels, and storms. Datasets related to socioeconomic factors are also integral to comprehensive management of the beaches and inlets. The amount of data available for North Carolina’s coast is considerable and the collection and analysis of it all is beyond the scope of this initial BIMP effort. Therefore, the objective of these data collection efforts was to develop the best understanding of the state’s beaches and inlets based on the most readily available and relevant statewide data sets. Collectively this information can serve as a common reference point for the discussion of possible management strategies. A. Review of Coastal Statewide Planning/Management Case Studies The BIMP is intended to be a holistic examination of the oceanfront coastline focusing on a regional management approach rather than just individual beach and inlet projects. States are approaching beach and inlet management planning in a variety of ways, under a variety of titles (e.g., shoreline management, regional sediment management, ocean shore management), and on a variety of scales. A literature review was conducted by the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) to identify states and other entities that have addressed statewide or local beach and inlet management plans, a well as to review the approaches studied and adopted (Appendix A).

  • Tidal Datum Changes Induced by Morphological Changes of North Carolina Coastal Inlets

Signell Received: 18 July 2016; Accepted: 12 November 2016; Published: 18 November 2016 Abstract: In support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s VDatum program, a new version of a tidal datum product for the North Carolina coastal waters has been developed to replace the initial version released in 2004. Compared with the initial version, the new version used a higher resolution grid to cover more areas and incorporated up-to-date tide, bathymetry, and shoreline data. Particularly, the old bathymetry datasets that were collected from the 1930s to the 1970s and were used in the initial version have been replaced by the new bathymetry datasets collected in the 2010s in the new version around five North Carolina inlets. This study aims at evaluating and quantifying tidal datum changes induced by morphological changes over about 40 to 80 years around the inlets. A series of tidal simulations with either the old or new bathymetry datasets used around five inlets were conducted to quantify the consequent tidal datum changes. The results showed that around certain inlets, approximately 10% change in the averaged depth could result in over 30% change in the tidal datum magnitude.
