What's the Answer? 

Community-backed and community-led watershed conservation in the Lower Cape Fear. 

We can establish a collaborative, voluntary, long-term approach to watershed conservation where residents, fishermen, government officials, utilities, and farmers invest in upstream lands to improve management and conserve nature in order to rebuild migratory fish stocks and have access to clean drinking water. 

We know what’s at risk if water quality and fish health continue to decline. The most effective way of avoiding these risks is watershed conservation including investments in the land and in the river. Without taking action and making significant changes in the Lower Cape Fear, we will bear witness to increased habitat degradation and health issues that will result in fewer fish and reduced economic prosperity.
