Coastal Paddlipg Publications In coastal North Carolina, paddlers can navigate more than 1,200 miles of water trails — from the brackish marshes on the Alligator River to Lake Phelps with its towering bald cypress. When navigating waterways, paddlers have an economic and environmental impact on northeastern communities. To enhance paddling opportunities in coastal communities, the North Carolina Coastal Plains Paddle Trails Initiative recently completed a series of projects, including a paddler's survey, research proceedings, printed guide and Web site: Copies of the survey, final report and conference proceedings are available from North Carolina Sea Grant. To order printed guides and publication copies, call 919/515-9101. Refer to NCCPPTI The State of North Carolina PaddlingSurvey, UNC-SG-OI-06; NCCPPTI 2001 Coastal Plains Paddle Trails Research Conference Proceedings, UNC-SG-01-07; and NCCPPTI Final Report, UNC-SG-01-08. — COASTWATCH 3.
