North Carolina is restoring coastal peatlands by reintroducing water to areas degraded by drainage, farming, and logging. The initiative aims to reduce the risk of destructive peat fires and lock carbon within waterlogged soils. At Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, around 37,000 acres have been rehabilitated using water-control structures that mimic natural hydrology. Similar restoration efforts are underway at Angola Bay Game Land, targeting ditched peatlands and wetland habitats. Beyond carbon storage, the projects enhance flood resilience, support wildlife, and engage local communities in managing the broader coastal landscape.
