Carteret County Wildlife Club (CCWC) will host a presentation on "Save Our Sounds" at Carteret Community College, Joslyn Hall on September 16, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Louis Daniel, Senior Marine Scientist with the North Carolina Wildlife Federation will be our speaker. Dr. Daniel will explain how in-shore bottom trawling for shrimp is a destructive, unsustainable fishing method that has damaged the health of North Carolina's sounds fisheries. Let's learn how this has happened and what we can do about it.
Dr. Daniel was with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries for 20+ years and eventually became the Division Director. After leaving the director role, Dr. Daniel continued his work in marine conservation and the long term health of North Carolina's waters. Currently Dr. Daniel serves as Adjunct Professor at NC State University teaching marine resources management and policy; Assistant Section Chief for Shellfish Sanitation and Recreational Water Quality at the NC Division of Marine Fisheries; Senior Marine Scientist at the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) leading coastal habitat conservation initiatives, including the "Save Our Sounds" project.
