. Coast watch. Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. From The Top. Dear Readers: Welcome to the new Coastwatch. We hope you'll enjoy reading our expanded magazine as much as we enjoyed researching and writing it. We chose as our initial topic: New Hanover County and the lower Cape Fear River. In my story, I'll introduce you to New Hanover County's largest city — Wilmington. I interviewed city leaders and economists to get an idea how the completion of Interstate 40 had impacted the port city and what role the four-lane would play in Wilmington's future.

Edgerton walked the boardwalk at Carolina Beach and sifted the renourished sands of Wrightsville to contrast New Hanover's blue-collar and white-collar beaches. Edgerton also toured uninhabited Masonboro Island, one of the state's estua- rine sanctuaries. You'll relive the visit. Carla Burgess poured over books, strolled through a grave- yard and took a chair at Pollock's Shoeshine to get an insight into the region's history. She'll tell you what she learned in three stories about the port city's past. Then we'll introduce you to our new sections: Field Notes, Marine Advice, Sound to Sea, Young Mariners, Back Talk, Aft Deck and The Bookstore. Some of these sections also have a New Hanover angle. We hope you like our first effort. This copy is free. But if you want to continue receiving our magazine, you must pay an annual subscription fee of $12.
