Our shallow North Carolina sounds are in deep trouble ? and they need your help.

Inshore shrimp trawling, an extremely destructive fishing method that is only allowed in North Carolina, is causing irreparable damage to hundreds of different species and the fragile ecosystems that they rely on for food, protection, and the proper conditions for growth.

One of the biggest consequences of shrimp trawling is bycatch, the unintended part of the catch that is killed and discarded. By purchasing and wearing the Save Our Sounds clothing, you're joining NCWF's efforts to raise awareness on the desperate need to ban inshore shrimp trawling in North Carolina.

Take action and spread the message of the importance of North Carolina?s marine life, and ensure that North Carolina joins its coastal state neighbors in banning this harmful practice and saving our sounds.
