To jumpstart the CHPP implementation, DENR Secretary Bill Ross developed a list of 23 actions state agencies can take — without new legislation or rule making. The DENR action list cites enforcement of existing rules that protect fish habitat; development of indicators of habitat health; restoration of oyster shell bottoms; and the education of the public about important habitats.

The Manteo waterfront is now home to a replica of the historic Roanoke Marshes lighthouse. Operated by the Maritime Museum on Roanoke Island, the replica lighthouse has an enlarged deck that overlooks Shallowbag Bay. The original was built in 1877 and sat on seven iron piles screwed into the bottom of Croatan Sound. It remained in service until it was decommissioned by the Coast Guard. in 1955. Emmett Wiggins of Edenton, who bought two other screw pile lighthouses at the same time, purchased it. However, Wiggins was unsuccessful at moving the lighthouse by barge. Today, the only onginal screw pile lighthouse stands near a canal in Edenton. The replica lighthouse is at the end of Queen Elizabeth Street in downtown Manteo.
