Mission
THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL FEDERATION EMPOWERS COASTAL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE WATER QUALITY AND CRITICALLY IMPORTANT NATURAL HABITATS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST.
-
OVER THE PAST 42 YEARS, THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL FEDERATION HAS WORKED ALONGSIDE COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE UNIQUE NORTH CAROLINA COAST. AS A MEMBER SUPPORTED NON-PROFIT THE COASTAL FEDERATION'S GOALS ARE OBTAINED THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THROUGH EFFORTS FOR CLEAN COASTAL WATERS, LIVING SHORELINES, THRIVING OYSTERS, EFFECTIVE COASTAL MANAGEMENT, AND MARINE DEBRIS REMOVAL, THE FEDERATION AND NORTH CAROLINA'S COASTAL COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR A HEALTHY COAST!(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)IN OUR WORK TO PROTECT THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST, WE FOCUS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:WATER QUALITYINTENSE RAINSTORMS CAUSE FLOODING AND WATER QUALITY DEGRADATION AS THE RUNOFF FUNNELS POLLUTANTS TO OUR COASTAL WATERS. IMPACTS ARE MAGNIFIED BY THE ALTERED LANDSCAPE THAT CHANNELS RAIN INSTEAD OF ABSORBING IT.THE NATURE-BASED STORMWATER STRATEGIES ACTION PLAN RELEASED BY THE COASTAL FEDERATION IN 2021 RECOMMENDS SPECIFIC POLICIES AND ACTIONS TO REDUCE POLLUTION AND FLOODING CAUSED BY NEW LAND DEVELOPMENT; EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE; HIGHWAYS AND STREETS; AND WORKING LANDS SUCH AS FARMS AND COMMERCIAL FORESTS.IN 2023, WE RESTORED MORE THAN 10 ACRES OF WETLANDS AND DEVELOPED FIVE WATERSHED PLANS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES.LIVING SHORELINESNORTH CAROLINA'S 12,000 MILES OF ESTUARINE SHORELINE PROVIDE SOME OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE HABITATS IN THE WORLD FOR FISH AND SHELLFISH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE EROSION OF THESE SHORELINES IS INCREASING BECAUSE OF RISING SEA LEVELS, CONCENTRATED WAVES FROM BOATS, MORE EXTREME STORMS, AND POORLY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES. EROSION CONTROL STRUCTURES LIKE BULKHEADS ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS LIVING SHORELINES IN PROTECTING SHORELINES. BY INSTALLING BUFFERS USING SALT MARSH, OYSTER REEFS, AND OTHER NATURAL MATERIALS, LIVING SHORELINES CONTROL EROSION WHILE PROTECTING THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF OUR ESTUARIES.THE COASTAL FEDERATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO MAKING LIVING SHORELINES THE GO-TO APPROACH FOR MANAGING SHORELINE EROSION. WE HAVE SECURED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING THAT WILL HELP US PROVIDE INCREASED FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TO LANDOWNERS FOR LIVING SHORELINES. IN 2023, WE CONSTRUCTED 2 MILES OF LIVING SHORELINES AT 74 SITES ALONG THE COAST.OYSTERSOUR NATIVE EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA) IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SPECIES IN OUR ESTUARIES. OYSTERS BENEFIT NORTH CAROLINA'S COASTAL ECOLOGY AND ECONOMY. THESE BENEFITS CAN BE SUMMARIZED AND REFERRED TO AS THE THREE "FS", FOR SHORT: FOOD, FILTER AND FISH HABITAT. THEY FILTER WATER, PROVIDE FOOD FOR HUMANS AND CREATE REEFS THAT BUILD HOMES FOR MORE FISH. THESE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS, IN TURN, SUPPORT JOBS AND PROVIDE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES.OYSTER POPULATIONS, WORLDWIDE, ARE AT RECORD LOWS. DESPITE SOME RECOVERY IN RECENT YEARS, IN NORTH CAROLINA IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OYSTERS ARE AT ABOUT 15-20% OF HISTORIC HARVEST LEVELS. OYSTER HARVEST IS CURRENTLY THE BEST MEASURE OF THE OYSTER POPULATION IN OUR STATE.IN 2022, THE FEDERATION WORKED ON IMPLEMENTING THE OYSTER RESTORATION AND PROTECTION PLAN FOR NORTH CAROLINA, BY COLLECTING 2,778 BUSHELS OF OYSTER SHELLS THROUGH OUR OYSTER SHELL RECYCLING PROGRAM.IN 2023, THE FEDERATION WORKED WITH ITS PARTNERS TO RESTORE OVER 18 ACRES OF OYSTER REEF.EFFECTIVE COASTAL MANAGEMENTOUR COASTAL MANAGEMENT GOAL IS DEEPLY INTERTWINED WITH, AND SUPPORTS OUR WORK FOR CLEAN WATER, LIVING SHORELINES, THRIVING OYSTERS, AND A COAST THAT IS FREE OF MARINE DEBRIS. WE WORK WITH A MULTITUDE OF STAKEHOLDERS TO ENGAGE THEM IN SOUND COASTAL MANAGEMENT DECISIONS BASED ON THE BEST SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. IN ADDITION, WE PARTNER TO SECURE ADEQUATE FUNDS SO THAT DECISIONS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AND ENFORCED, AND SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL FOUNDATION THAT ENABLES US TO PROTECT AND RESTORE OUR COAST.COASTAL RESILIENCY IS AT THE FOUNDATION OF THIS GOALS WORK, RECOGNIZING THAT NOW IS THE CRITICAL TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. THIS MEANS ENSURING NATURAL DEFENSES ARE SOUND, WATERS ARE SAFE FOR FISHING AND SWIMMING AND WE ARE FREE OF EMERGING CONTAMINANTS AND OTHER THREATS LIKE OFFSHORE OIL AND MICROPLASTICS. IN 2023, BY WORKING WITH TOPSAIL BEACH, SURF CITY, NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH AND WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, WE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR BETTER BUILDING REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL DOCKS AND PIERS AND BANNED THE USE OF UNENCAPSULATED POLYSTYRENE IN DOCK CONSTRUCTION.MARINE DEBRISMARINE DEBRIS RESULTS FROM STORM-DAMAGED DOCKS, HOUSES, AND YARDS; LOST FISHING GEAR; POORLY MANAGED CONSTRUCTION SITES; ABANDONED BOATS; PLASTICS CONTAINED IN WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER DISCHARGES; AND CARELESS LITTERING. THE COASTAL FEDERATION PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, ACADEMIA, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN 2020 TO DEVELOP AND ADOPT THE N.C. MARINE DEBRIS ACTION PLAN TO BOTH CLEAN UP AND PREVENT DEBRIS LARGE AND SMALL.THE COASTAL FEDERATION WILL CONTINUE WORKING FOR THE REDUCED USE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS, ADVOCATE FOR MORE STORM RESILIENT BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE PRACTICES FOR DOCKS AND PIERS, AND PROMOTE IMPROVED TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MICROPLASTICS BEING DISCHARGED TO COASTAL WATERS. WE WILL ALSO PARTNER WITH STATE AND LOCAL PARTNERS TO CONTINUE TO MOBILIZE FISHERS AND CONTRACTORS TO REMOVE TONS OF DEBRIS, LOST CRAB POTS, AND ABANDONED VESSELS. IN 2023, WE WORKED WITH WATERMEN AND WOMEN AND CONTRACTORS TO REMOVE 150 TONS OF LARGE-SCALE MARINE DEBRIS FROM COASTAL WATERS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
