The total solar eclipse on Aug. 21 traveled across 14 states in the continental United States and brought many people together to be in the path of totality. In North Carolina Sea Grant’s Autumn 2017 issue of Coastwatch magazine, relive this celestial sight through images from our partners.
In an interview with co-authors Barbara Garrity-Blake and Karen Willis Amspacher, Danielle Costantini finds out what went into collecting and selecting oral histories for their book, Living at the Water’s Edge: A Heritage Guide to the Outer Banks Byway.
