NCEDF Receives Support To Restore Polluted River Basins
The North Carolina Environmental Defense Fund (NCEDF) has received a $25,000 grant from the Kathleen Price Bryan Family Fund of Greensboro. The grant will support NCEDF’s coastal initiative to protect and restore the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico river basins in North Carolina. The Neuse and Tar-Pamlico are home to the most important nursery and production fisheries on the East Coast. The project will reduce nutrient pollution in the two river basins through a combination of voluntary and regulatory mechanisms and will restore the associated fisheries.
“The North Carolina Environmental Defense Fund is proud to partner with the Kathleen Price Bryan Family Fund on this important project to clean up our state’s rivers,”said Jane Preyer, director of NCEDF. “This grant will be a great help to our efforts to protect the health of citizens and wildlife as well as the state’s tourism and fishing industries dependent upon these critical waters.”
