GEOGRAPHY Wilmington is in a part of North Carolina known as the Tidewater or Coastal Plain. This area is characterized by thick forests of pines and other evergreens; due to the sandy soils it is difficult for many deciduous trees to grow. This portion of the state contains the Outer Banks, sandy islands that do not have coral reefs to attach to and thus are constantly shifting their locations. The Outer Banks are known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because numerous ships have been wrecked along their beaches and shoals due to storms and strong tides.

  • Environmental Assessment of the Lower Cape Fear River System, 2013
    Environmental Assessment of the Lower Cape Fear River System, 2013 By Michael A. Mallin, Matthew R. McIver and James F. Merritt August 2014 CMS Report No. 14-02 Center for Marine Science University of North Carolina Wilmington Wilmington, N.C. 28409 Executive Summary Multiparameter water sampling for the Lower Cape Fear River Program (LCFRP) has been ongoing since June 1995. Scientists from the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s (UNCW) Aquatic Ecology Laboratory perform the sampling effort. The LCFRP currently encompasses 33 water sampling stations throughout the lower Cape Fear, Black, and Northeast Cape Fear River watersheds. The LCFRP sampling program includes physical, chemical, and biological water quality measurements and analyses of the benthic and epibenthic macroinvertebrate communities, and has in the past included assessment of the fish communities. Principal conclusions of the UNCW researchers conducting these analyses are presented below, with emphasis on water quality of the period January - December 2013. The opinions expressed are those of UNCW scientists and do not necessarily reflect viewpoints of individual contributors to the Lower Cape Fear River Program. The mainstem lower Cape Fear River is a 6th order stream characterized by periodically turbid water containing moderate to high levels of inorganic nutrients. It is fed by two large 5th order blackwater rivers (the Black and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers) that have low levels of turbidity, but highly colored water with less inorganic nutrient content than the mainstem. While nutrients are reasonably high in the river channels, major algal blooms have until recently been rare because light is attenuated by water color or turbidity, and flushing is usually high (Ensign et al.

  • A Case Study of Carolina Bays and Ditched Streams at Risk Under the Proposed WOTUS Definition
    CAPE FEAR RIVER WATERSHED: A Case Study of Carolina Bays and Ditched Streams at Risk under the Proposed WOTUS Definition The Cape Fear River. Photo by Kemp Burdette The Cape Fear River Basin is North Carolina’s largest watershed, with an area of over 9,000 square miles. Major tributaries include the Deep River, the Haw River, the Northeast Cape Fear River, the Black River, and the South River. These rivers converge to form a thirty-mile-long estuary before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Fear.1 The Cape Fear supplies water to some of the fastest ​ growing counties in the United States;2 roughly one in five North Carolinians gets their drinking ​ water from the Cape Fear, including residents of Greensboro, Fayetteville, and Wilmington.3 ​ The Cape Fear Basin is a popular watershed for a variety of recreation activities. State parks along the river include Haw River State Park, Raven Rock State Park, and Carolina Beach State Park. The faster-flowing water of the upper basin is popular with paddlers, as are the slow meandering blackwater rivers and streams of the lower Cape Fear and estuary. Fishing is very popular; the Cape Fear supports a number of freshwater species, saltwater species, and even anadromous (migratory) species like the endangered sturgeon, striped bass, and shad. Cape Fear River Watershed: Case Study Page 2 of 8 The Cape Fear is North Carolina’s most ecologically diverse watershed; the Lower Cape Fear is notable because it is part of a biodiversity “hotspot,” recording the largest degree of biodiversity on the eastern seaboard of the United States.

  • Strengthening Flood Resilience in Eastern North Carolina
    PROJECT BRIEF February 2020 STRENGTHENING FLOOD RESILIENCE IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Lead Faculty Researcher: Dr. Mike Piehler, Director, UNC Institute for the Environment BACKGROUND With three major hurricanes (Matthew, Florence, and Dorian) hitting the State of North Carolina in three of the past four years, there is a new urgency to strengthen the state’s resiliency to future storms, especially in eastern North Carolina. Combined these storms, and in particular the flooding, decimated the state resulting in dozens of deaths, damage to thousands of structures, and billions of dollars in economic loss. In 2019 the North Carolina General Assembly approved disaster recovery legislation (Senate bill 429, Session Law 2019-224), one section of which directed $2 million to be used by the North Carolina Policy Collaboratory to study flooding and resiliency. Specifically, the legislation charged the Collaboratory to study flooding and resiliency against future storms in eastern North Carolina and develop an implementation plan with recommendations. Observed precipitation from Hurricane Florence. Map via the National Weather Service. 1 Pursuant to the legislation the Collaboratory is coordinating a diverse team of university researchers to address flooding and resiliency issues in a comprehensive manner. The study includes five overarching focal areas: • Floodplain buyouts • Infrastructure, such as water treatment plants and the electric grid • Financial risk, including new flood mapping and a financial analysis of at-risk structures • Natural systems, including wetlands and stormwater; and • Public Health The Collaboratory is charged with delivering a final report to the North Carolina General Assembly’s Joint Legislative Emergency Management Oversight Committee no later than December 1, 2020.

  • Cape Fear River Basin Action Plan for Migratory Fish
    Cape Fear River Basin Action Plan for Migratory Fish e Fe ap ar C R p i i v e h r s developed by P r a r t n e April 2013 The Cape Fear River Partnership The Cape Fear River Partnership was formed in 2011 with a vision of a healthy Cape Fear River for fish and people. The partnership's mission is to restore and demonstrate the value of robust, productive, and self-sustaining stocks of migratory fish in the Cape Fear River. Building on the momentum of the newly constructed fish passage at Lock & Dam #1, this partnership of key federal, state, local, academic, and other organizations in the region is working together on this multi-year action plan. Using a broad range of tools and capabilities, we seek to provide long-term, habitat-based solutions for the most pressing challenges for migratory fish. The partnership strives to measure achievement of our mission with the following targets: increased fish populations (as measured by catch-per-unit efforts, improved age structure, and other techniques), increased recreational fishing success for shad, striped bass, and river herring (as measured by creel surveys), and a re-opened striped bass and river herring harvest in the Cape Fear River. The following organizations are members of the Cape Fear River Partnership: American Rivers (AR) Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP) Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) Cape Fear River Assembly Cape Fear River Watch (CFRW) City of Wilmington Dial Cordy and Associates Inc.
