North+Carolina+Coastal+Federation



My cousin Todd Miller started the North Carolina Coastal Federation, a large non-profit organization in North Carolina. In comparison to the CDC, it is a lot larger with many members and supporters. He started it in 1982 with the mission stated on their website as “to provide citizens and groups with the assistance they need to take an active role in the stewardship of North Carolina’s coastal water quality and natural resources”. His organization is large with over 1200 volunteers. It is well known throughout North Carolina and has been praised for its efforts to preserve the coast. They recently have had their own specialty license plate made for members of their organization.



His organization has four goals promoted on their website: 1. To strengthen environmental standards 2. To encourage enforcement of environmental laws 3. To restore and protect natural habitat and water quality 4. And to educate citizens and community leaders of their cause. His organization offers much for volunteer workers. They have everything from field to office opportunities and are happy for any volunteers they can get. The North Carolina Coastal Federation makes some of its money by offering a membership for their organization. Members can donate any amount of money over the amount of thirty five dollars and are given yearly access to the main facility with guided tour groups around examples of the coast. They also offer a newsletter with current information involving the coast of North Carolina.

On their webpage, they have a Facebook/ Twitter link as well as a button that directly connects you to their shop. You can easily find out how to join and become a member. It is a very simple but detailed website that allows the viewer to explore the organization with ease. There are lots of photographs with happy volunteers working on the beach. These kinds of pictures really help their cause and allow people to get interested in preserving the coast of North Carolina. There is even a contact page where anyone can get in touch with the people who run the organization including Mr. Miller.

This is a bumper sticker that you will see a lot in North Carolina. All of my relatives have them on their cars and it is one of the main marketing slogans for the North Carolina Coastal Federation.
