Threats to our North Carolina estuaries
North Carolina's estuaries face many problems. One problem is the changing of the water flow. As people use more and more land to make buildings and as they destroy more of nature, the water flows are constantly changing. Another problem they face is the rise or decrease in water level. In some cases, the water will rise but in others it will decrease and it is harming the animals and plants in the surrounding areas.
