SUBJECT: Moratorium Relief Request for CAMA Permit No. 131-83, Masonboro Yacht
Club and Marina, Inc, Wilmington, North Carolina
Dear Sir and Madame:
This letter is in response to the above referenced CAMA permit modification request received by
the DCM Morehead City office via email on March 16, 2023. To review this request, we
coordinated with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) and NC Wildlife Resource
Commission (WRC).
The requested action pertains to a four -week relief from the conditioned dredging moratorium
(April 1 to September 31), to end on April 30, 2023. This moratorium was conditioned to protect
juvenile shrimp and finfish populations, and to minimize adverse impacts to fisheries resources.
While concerns remain about the effects of dredging on these resources, NCDMF and WRC
have approved moratorium relief through April 30, 2023.
The Division of Coastal Management grants this one-time moratorium relief request through
April 30, 2023, with the understanding that every effort will be made to complete the authorized
work within the approved relief period.
If you have any questions concerning these matters, please feel free to contact me by telephone
at [phone], or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Cameron Luck
Division of Coastal Management
