Stock Your Pond with Fish

 Stocking fish in a pond provides both environmental and recreational benefits. 


Environmentally, fish can help control undesirable insects, snakes, mosquitos, and invasive plants, while attracting local and migratory birds. 


Recreationally, feeding or catching fish in your neighborhood pond can provide great enjoyment for residents, their families, and friends. 


Improper fish stocking practices presents significant risks to the fish and pond health.

Co-Existing With Alligators

 American alligators occur naturally in North Carolina, inhabiting bays, lakes, rivers, creeks, marshes, swamps and ponds, with local populations distributed in patches along the entire coast. Alligators become less common in coastal NC as you move from south to north. Climate, specifically the number of cold weather days, limits their “growing season” and their ability to survive and reproduce. Coastal NC is considered the northern extent of their range, and alligators in NC have much slower growth rates, reproduce less frequently, and populations are more vulnerable to local extinctions than other more southern states. It is unlawful for the public to kill, harm or harass an alligator in NC.
