Migratory fish have long played a significant role in the recreational and commercial fisheries that contribute to the economy of North Carolina and their value was recognized long before European settlement, but overfishing has taken a toll in more recent time.

North Carolina has a history of leading. Yet they are lagging behind our fellow states when it comes to combating a growing problem that affects North Carolina intimately: plastic pollution.

Boats are being abandoned on SC’s shores. Why? And what’s being done about them?

The problem is NOT owners abandoning their boats. The problem is typical government bureaucracy unable to take charge, FINE the most recent owners of these boats AND make THEM pay for removal. Just complaining about abandoned boats does not effect a solution.
This article begins in the heartland, but scroll down for an east coast discussion. On the east coast, marine highway projects already have a high profile. Consider the 64-Express, at the Port of Virginia’s Richmond Marine Terminal, on the James River, operating since 2008. The Port estimates that 2020 barge transport eliminated nearly 20,000 truck trips. Many people are at least generally aware that one barge can carry 1,750 tons of dry cargo, a volume requiring 16 rail cars or 70 trucks.
Inland Waterways: A Crucible of Issues
Maritime Reporter – Tom Ewing
Recent unusually high tides in the coastal Carolinas have almost certainly brought floating and submerged debris into the channel. Also, bridge heights may be reduced by as much as 4ft. See High Water. Tide boards at bridges are generally unreliable – wait for low tide and keep a sharp watch on the channel for debris.
Brightline rail service, begun in 2017, see Brightline Express, resumed service today after a 19 month halt. Brightline has been a bone of contention and debate for boaters well before the service began due the increased number of RR bridge closings over major eastern Florida waterways.
