Battleship North Carolina Launches 'Living with Water' Project to Combat Flooding

This initiative aims to restore aquatic habitats, benefiting wildlife like shrimp and blue crabs, with native vegetation aiding nesting birds. It anticipates reducing erosion and redirecting floodwaters through wetlands. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation granted $1.25 million for the project in 2020, focusing on mitigating tidal flooding risks and enhancing water quality in the Cape Fear River.
