What better way to kickoff the Spring season than with a hugely successful kickoff to our CoastWise initiative, and that's just what happened on Saturday, March 14 at the Oak Island Nature Center.
This event served as the official start to the fieldwork being done as part of the CoastWise Initiative, and provided further information on upcoming volunteer opportunities and initiative activities. Dozens of attendees from within the community and surrounding areas were on hand, and included representatives from the UNCW College of Science & Engineering (UNCW), the Oak Island Environmental Advisory Committee, and the St. James Conservancy.
The partnership has truly hit the water running with multiple events already planned for next month, including the first Speakers Series on April 9 and a workshop on April 25.
