Whether they're sharing knowledge about North Carolina's seashells, connecting visitors with museum resources, or helping at events, our volunteers are "shrimply" the best.

Hundreds of ships tried, and failed, to sneak through the Federal blockade of the southern states during the American Civil War to supply the Confederacy and make a profit. Surprisingly, on April 23, 1863, not one but THREE Confederate blockade-runners successfully entered New Inlet just north of Cape Fear and made their way into the Cape Fear River. The steamers “Merrimac,” “Charleston,” and “Margaret and Jessie” all made it to Wilmington with supplies.

It's Volunteer Appreciation Week and we have a whale's worth of gratitude for our volunteers! Without their help, we could not "orca-strate" our projects with such efficiency and expertise. Our volunteers are essential to the work of telling the stories of the marine mammals off our coast and inspiring the conservation and stewardship of our oceans in visitors! Thank you, volunteers, for being so "fin-tastic"! ... See MoreSee Less

Fish Friday!For the first time in six years, the state of North Carolina has opened a limited striped bass season. Striped bass, also known as rock fish, can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh up to 77 pounds. These surprisingly large fish have stout bodies with horizontal stripes on each side. Due to overfishing, the management of North Carolina’s striped bass populations is very strict, leading to a complete shutdown of the harvest of these fish in 2019. For 2026, North Carolina announced a one-month striped bass season during April 2026 but only in certain bodies of water. To learn more about what is being done to rebuild these populations or the regulations surrounding fishing for striped bass in coastal waters visit the NC Department of Environmental Quality website. For inland and joint waters, visit NC Fish and Wildlife. Image: Tagging jumbo striped bass, North Carolina, Cape Hatteras, Winter 1958.
