SOUTHEASTERN N.C. The North Carolina Coastal Federation has announced the creation of an action plan for statewide government leaders and developers to help curb flooding and water pollution.
The “
Action Plan for Nature-Based Stormwater Strategies” focuses on ways to promote natural designs to reduce flooding and improve water quality in new developments, stormwater retrofits, roadways, and working lands.
“North Carolinians are increasingly affected by damage and disruptions from flooding. More rain means more water running off the land, carrying pollutants and debris into rivers and to the coast,” according to the document.

Last month, a grassroots group of volunteers walked around Sneads Ferry and collected 34 bags of trash by hand. After a couple of hours, their haul weighed in at a whopping 680 pounds.
The group calls itself Debris Free Sneads Ferry, and it was organized and led by Hannah Faith Kushner. Kushner, of Sneads Ferry, said she considers litter in the area to be a tremendous problem.
Debris Free Sneads Ferry is just one of a handful of emerging efforts to clean up the area around Stump Sound. The sound touches a handful of municipalities and unincorporated areas, which poses challenges to managing issues like litter. Who is in charge of addressing this problem?
