Join us for the grand opening of the North Carolina Coastal Federation’s new Coastal Protection and Restoration Center! The new center will serve as a hub for coastal conservation, bringing together Coastal Federation staff, partners, and community members to advance efforts that protect and restore North Carolina’s coast.

This open-house celebration will feature a full day of activities for the whole family, including hands-on educational activities, presentations from Coastal Federation staff, guided nature hikes, boat rides on Bogue Sound, food trucks and local NC oysters, and live music. You’ll also get the chance to visit our new event center, Pelican Landing, which will be available to rent for community events. Guests are welcome to drop in anytime during the event to explore the Coastal Center, meet staff, and learn how to get involved in protecting our coast.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Coastal Protection and Restoration Center and celebrating this new chapter with our coastal community.
