Stormwater is a perennial topic so I jumped at the recent chance to tour a local municipality’s storm sewer system. Unfortunately, no turtles (mutant ninja or otherwise), C.H.U.D.s, or gigantic alligators to report.<\/p><\/div>\n

I am a science writer and editor with NC Sea Grant and the NC Water Resources Research Institute<\/a>. My job lets me learn and write about salt and fresh water issues here in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

A day might find me watching cannons being pulled from sunken pirate ships<\/a>, dining on invasive lionfish,<\/a> tracking water resources policy at Environmental Management Commission meetings<\/a>, or donning snake chaps in Hyde County<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am really excited about this blog and hope to use it as another way to share some of my experiences as I dive in (yes!) to North Carolina water policy and research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
