NORTH CAROLINA: Sustainable fisheries plates available
You don’t have to take to the water to show your support of fisheries research. Motorists can now order a specialty North Carolina license place for the vehicle to support sustainable fisheries research.
 

N.C. State University’s Center for Marine Sciences and Technology located along Bogue Sound in Morehead City has developed a specialty license plate to help raise funds to support student research in sustainable fisheries, according to a CMAST news release.

The N.C. General Assembly approved legislation authorizing the sale of the license plates, which feature a marlin, in July 2011.
