Chapter 6 Conservation Goals and Priorities
Another part of the UNRBA mission is creating a forum to cooperate on water supply issues within the basin by: 1) forming a coalition of units of local government, public and private agencies, and other interested and affected communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals to secure and pool financial resources and expertise; 2) collecting and analyzing information and data, and developing, evaluating, and implementing strategies to reduce, control, and manage pollutant discharge; and 3) providing accurate technical, management, regulatory, and legal recommendations regarding the implementation of strategies and appropriate effluent limitations on discharges into the Upper Neuse River Basin. Visit the UNRBA website for more information http://unrba.org. 6.9.22 Upper Tar Collaboration Anchored by the Tar River Land Conservancy (TRLC), the Upper Tar Collaboration includes a multitude of corporate, agency, nonprofit, and private partners dedicated to preserving and managing riparian buffers and wetlands to help protect the incredible aquatic biodiversity that resides in the Upper Tar River Basin. This basin is nationally recognized as one of the most important watersheds along the East Coast because it harbors 14 federal and state rare and endangered species, including the federally endangered Tar River Spinymussel and Dwarf Wedgemussel.
