is part of the North Carolina Coast that stretches from Cape Lookout to Cape Fear and contains an atmosphere of wetlands, saltwater marshes and coastal ecosystems ("Southeast Region," 2006). It
also supports some endangered species as it respects plant and animal life ("Southeast Region," 2006). Because the region has been built up in recent years, its rural character is
dissipating along with its "ecological integrity" ("Southeast Region," 2006). Still, its true wealth is in its natural beauty and attractiveness to the travel market. The Cape Fear area is a
wonderful place to visit, which is why this dilemma has created anguish for local residents and politicians. While it seems as if coastlines are often protected, the Cape Fear region
has experienced some unusual and troubling conditions. In 1995, for example, Onslow County experienced the rupturing of a swine waste-holding lagoon (Mallin, 2000). Urine and feces were strewn about, and
it affected the New River, as well as to have traveled as far as 22 miles (Mallin, 2000). This was a mess. There were more than 25 million gallons of
waste involved (Mallin, 2000, p.26). This occurred on one particular day, but the days following would contain new challenges and the waste would work its way to the New River
