COASTAL TIDINGS Jumping Run Project Cited in Conservation Award The Carteret- Craven Electric Cooperative received the Governor's Conservation Award for Indus- trial/Municipal Conservationist of the Year. The Award was given by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. The electric co-op was cited for the Jumping Run Wetlands Restora- tion Project on its 24 property in Newport. Jumping Run is a tributary of the White Oak River — an important shellfish resource. The constructed wetlands project was designed to protect the river's water quality. CCEC collaborated with North Carolina Sea Grant, North Carolina State University's College of Design and Water Quality Group, and the Division of Water Quality. In addition to Jumping Run, CCEC was praised for its support of the Blue Fin Tuna Research Project, the North Carolina Artificial Reef Program, building osprey nests in marsh- lands, and for allowing endangered plant species to be studied and protected on some of the cooperative's substation land. The Governor's Conservation Achievement Award program gives recognition to individuals and organizations that help protect and sustain the environment. - Sea Grant Director Receives Award T( I he Coastal Society presented the 2002 President's Award to Ronald G.
