Pamlico Sound

In April, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced $27.25 million will be invested in the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound. USFWS Director Martha Williams talks about this funding and its implications.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will use a chemical to improve water quality in Lake Mattamuskeet. Conservationists worry it will harm birds at North Carolina's largest freshwater lake.

Lake Mattamuskeet is the largest natural freshwater lake in North Carolina. The lake has experienced declining water quality for decades, leading to harmful algal blooms. A proposal would address these algal blooms using a chemical treatment.

On Saturday, the U.S. Coast Guard Hatteras Inlet Station received a call that people on a vessel had lost their dog, Myla, overboard in Pamlico Sound, according to the station's Facebook post.
