Navassa CAMA Land Use Plan 2011 Update
The
Navassa Planning Department is working with Mark Zeigler with the NC
Division of Community Planning, in order to update the town's CAMA Land
Use Plan. We need your help in determining goals and policies to
regulate the future development of the town, increase access to parks
and recreation opportunities, improve transportation, and work to ensure
a higher quality of life for all Navassa residents. The Planning
Department encourages you to come out and participate in this planning
process by attending the monthly Planning Board meetings on the second
Wednesday of each month. The meetings are held at Town Hall beginning
at 7:30 PM and your input if vital to the future vision and success of
our community!
For questions or comments about the CAMA Land Use
Plan update contact Sean Ryan, Town Planner, at 910-371-2432 or via
email at sryan@townofnavassa.org.

Cape Fear Arch
The Cape Fear region in southeastern North Carolina is considered an exceptionally rich biodiverse area in the United States. This region hosts 50 different habitat types supporting 300 species of plants and animals. 22 of these species are considered “endemic” meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. An assessment of biodiversity was completed by the State and prioritized terrestrial habitats based on the presence and quality of significant natural areas, rare species, important bird areas, high quality wildlife habitat, and wetlands. Aquatic habitats were assessed based on aquatic significant natural heritage areas, native trout waters, anadromous fish spawning areas, high quality benthic communities, high quality waters, outstanding resource waters, oyster sanctuaries, shellfish harvest areas, fish nursery areas, submerged aquatic vegetation, and stream buffers. Anadromous means that fish are born in fresh water nurseries of Navassa’s creeks and rivers, spend most of their life in the sea - Atlantic Ocean and return to the Town’s fresh waters to spawn.
