Stop all efforts related to the planning and construction of a container port on the state lands adjacent to Southport, North Carolina.
Why is this important?
For some time the State of North Carolina has contemplated putting a large container port on the shore bordering Southport, an scenic fishing village of about 3000 people. It is the site of the sate's 4 of July Parade and has one of the most scenic Main Streets in the country. Moreover, it is a biodiversity hotspot: fish, marshlands, bird nesting sanctuaries, and sea turtle habitat. A container port would destroy all that we have and make us sick with diesel particulates and other carcinogens. Stop this port now and forever!
