Saltwater Connections
Saltwater Connections announces meetings to host the Resource Team for April 16 and 17 to present their recommendations for Down East. Read more here!
Saltwater Connections is a regional initiative aimed at sustaining livelihoods, cultural heritage, and natural resources along North Carolina’s central coast, from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke and Down East Carteret County.
Saltwater Connections is an outgrowth of the Outer Banks Scenic Byway that begins at the North River Bridge in Bettie and continues northward to Whalebone Junction in Dare County. This initiative serves as the community outreach program helping to ensure all communities have a voice in the planning and future of the communities and villages along the Byway. The name “Saltwater Connections” was chosen as the project name because it is the saltwater that connects and binds the three regions together - Hatteras - Ocracoke and Down East.
To learn more about what is involved in this project, click here. There you will find information on the asset mapping projects which occurred in all communities ~ upcoming opportunities for participation in the project ~ review of research that identified the vision of the future from Down East residents ~ highlights from the Saltwater Connections website ~ information from other communities participating in similar projects and planning across the state and the nation ~ future updates about the progress of the project. Continue reading here! and here for recent activities.
