== History ==
The federation’s current executive director, Todd Miller, started the federation in 1982 after receiving a grant from the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation to preserve N.C.'s sounds and wetlands.〔http://www.ourstate.com/oysters/〕 Shortly after the federation began, it spearheaded a movement to oppose a 120,000-acre project to strip-mine peat bogs from Albemarle to Pamlico sounds.〔http://www.nccoast.org/content.aspx?key=ed25aece-48ef-4b0f-a32c-4d72705bd542〕〔http://www.nccoast.org/uploads/.../CoastalReview/1984CR-issue1.pdf〕 Through the assembly of concerned scientists, fishermen and environmentalists, the proposal was defeated in 1984 and today many of the formerly targeted areas are now national wildlife refuges.〔
