Coastal Carolina Riverwatch and the Industry Working Group (made up of commercial and recreational fisheries representatives) have identified Stormwater pollution as one of the top five water quality concerns that impact coastal NC fisheries.
Due to rapid growth in coastal areas, increased construction, and the draining of wetlands, the amount of impervious surfaces has increased tremendously in coastal North Carolina.
Contaminants from Stormwater include, but are not limited to sediment, nutrients, and bacteria.
