Belhaven, N.C. -- Quarry workers, truckers, welders, barge operators, tug boat captains and heavy machine operators--these aren't the kinds of jobs that usually come to mind when thinking about environmental projects. But they make up the backbone of an oyster-habitat restoration project that began this week in coastal North Carolina.
The N.C. Coastal Federation is partnering with local contractors, scientists from N.C. State University and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, North Carolina Sea Grant and the state Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) to build and monitor approximately 47 acres of oyster reefs in Pamlico Sound.
