The State of Marine Debris Efforts in North Carolina: An Assessment Setting the stage for development of a marine debris reduction, prevention and removal plan for the North Carolina coast.

We Collaborate We Advocate We Restore and Protect We Educate We Inform Mission: To empower coastal residents & visitors from all walks of life to protect and restore the water quality and critically important natural habitats of the NC coast. Our Approach We Collaborate We Advocate We Restore and Protect We Educate We Inform

N.C. Coastal Federation Strategy in 2017: Coastal environment is free of marine debris. Marine debris takes on many different forms — from bottle caps and balloons to lost crab pots and other fishing gear. Marine debris is not only unsightly, it is hazardous to fish, wildlife and humans. With its widespread scope, marine debris is not a problem the federation can face alone.

NOAA Funded Projects in North Carolina AquaDebris: Site restoration and habitat recovery assessment of shellfish aquaculture in North Carolina Lead: N.C. Coastal Federation Removal Funding (FY17) Using Unmanned Aerial Systems to Inform Marine Debris Removal Strategies and Monitor Habitat Recovery in the Rachel Carson Reserve Lead: N.C. National Estuarine Research Reserve Removal Funding (FY16) Developing Fishermen-led Crab Pot Recovery Program in NC Removal Funding (FY 15)

Other Statewide Strategic Marine Debris Efforts: Florida Great Lakes Oregon Virginia Hawaii

North Carolina Incident Waterway Debris Response Guide: Comprehensive Guidance Document By collaborating with local, state, and federal entities active in the region, this guide aims to facilitate a more timely and effective response to waterway debris incidents in North Carolina.

General Timeline Objective 1: Complete an assessment of marine debris in North Carolina Complete the N.C. assessment this fall, after the NCMDS and survey feedback is evaluated Objective 2: Develop a coastwide marine debris strategy Through Strategy workshop planning meetings in early 2018, develop a Coast-wide Marine Debris Reduction Strategy/Plan Present a draft plan at 2018 NC Marine Debris Symposium to refine this document

The State of Marine Debris in North Carolina: An Assessment Objective 1: Complete an assessment of the state of marine debris in North Carolina as a pre-cursor to the development of a coast-wide marine debris reduction strategy/plan. Marine Debris of Concern in North Carolina: i. Consumer debris ii. Lost Fishing Gear –Include aquaculture iii. Abandoned and Derelict vessels – Brunswick Co. adopted an ordinance iv. Storm debris – Including vegetative debris v. Unmaintained structures –Docks, bulkheads, etc.

The State of Marine Debris in North Carolina: An Assessment The goals of this N.C. coast assessment and inventory project are to: • Understand the problem of marine debris on the N.C. coast • Understand the types and quantities of marine debris • Understand the threats from different types of marine debris • Identify organizations that are involved with all aspects of marine debris • Assemble a team of stakeholders that will lead the development of a marine debris action plan for North Carolina’s coast

Marine Debris Survey A survey was published on August 14th to gather information in an effort to develop a marine debris reduction strategy for the state.
