The river draws its name from the treacherous

offshore shoals (dubbed the ldquoCape of Fearerdquo by

early mariners) The shoals stretch for miles into

the Atlantic Ocean from the riverrsquos mouth The Cape

Fear River and its tributaries were important pathways for early

commerce through the historic ports of Brunswick Charlestown

and Wilmington In the mid-1800s the Cape

Fear was an outlet for the commercial products

of more than 28 counties River trade extended

up to Fayetteville through a series of three locksand dams that raised the water level Through -

out the 19th century shallow-draft steamboats

called at more than 100 local landings between

Fayetteville and Wilmington

The Cape Fear River Basin is one of four river

basins completely contained within North Carolinarsquos borders The head-

waters (origin) of the basin are the Deep and Haw rivers These rivers

converge in Chatham County just below B Everett Jordan Dam to form

the Cape Fear River The river ends as a 35-mile-long coastal estuary

that is an important nursery area for juvenile

fish crabs and shrimp Large industries lining

the lower Cape Fear make the basin North

Carolinarsquos most industrialized The basin

also contains one-fifth of the statersquos popula-

tion Major tributaries include the Black River

which flows into the Cape Fear River in Pender

County and the Northeast Cape Fear River

which flows into the Cape Fear at Wilmington

These are both ldquoblackwaterrdquo streams that

drain the acidic soils of hardwood swamps

Hundreds of turpentine distilleries once dotted the historically vast

longleaf pine forests of the region The products of these treesmdashtarpitch turpentine and rosinmdashdistinguished Wilmington as the worldrsquos

leading exporter of naval stores in the 18th and 19th centuries

Many different aquatic ecosystems in the Cape Fear River Basin sup-

port at least 95 species of commercial and recreational fish Estuaries

blackwater rivers and rocky streams in the basin support 42 rare aquatic

species The Cape Fear shiner a fish that is federally listed as endan-

gered has been found nowhere in the world except the Cape Fear

River Basin Other endangered species include the shortnose sturgeon

T hree lock-and-dam structures on the lower

Cape Fear River once allowed barges and

large boats to navigate waters that would

otherwise be too shallow As a vessel traveled

upriver gates would open and close to release

more water and allow passage These structures

eliminated 160 miles of the river from the migra-

tion routes of shad striped bass sturgeon and

other anadromous fishmdashocean-dwelling species

that swim up into freshwater streams to repro-

duce Today the locks are no longer operated

for navigation but remain an obstacle to these

fish including the shortnose sturgeon which is

on the Endangered Species List State and fed-

eral fisheries agencies are pursuing the removal

of the dams so that migratory fish can return to

their historic spawning grounds in the upper

Cape Fear River Basin Though the dams were

not designed for water supply cities such as

Wilmington and Fayetteville draw water from

the impoundments Fisheries officials hope to

work in partnership with municipalities and citi-

zen groups to simultaneously satisfy water-

supply needs and re-open routes for migratory

fish species

The basin has 33 reservoirs including B Everett Jordan Reservoir (ldquoJordan Lakerdquo) the largest

lake in the basin at 46768 acres Constructed in the 1970s it is the main source of drinking

water for the town of Cary and a major recreational spot for the fast-growing Triangle region

The most populated regions of the basin are in and near the Triad area (Greensboro-High

Point) the Durham-Chapel Hill area Fayetteville and Wilmington The 26 counties contained

within or overlapping the borders of the Cape Fear River Basin are expected to grow in popu-

lation from 3 million to about 5 million over the next 20 years

The Cape Fear shiner is

a small minnow (rarely

exceeding 2 inches)

that is federally listed

as endangered and

also is endemic (found

nowhere else) to the

Cape Fear River BasinIt lives in shallow rocky

shoals within main river

channels only in sec-

tions of the Deep Haw

Large-scale livestock operations also compete for the regionrsquos natural resourcesmdashthe basin

contains the most swine of any North Carolina river basin (58 percent of the statersquos total

hog population) Growth in human population and livestock numbers can stress aquatic

systems because so much polluted runoff washes into streams and rivers

Fertilizers and animal waste in runoffmdashfrom lawns urban developed areas farm fields and live-

stock operationsmdashincreases the flow of nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) into nearby

waters These nutrients can stimulate algae growth and decrease the amount of oxygen that is

available in the water for aquatic animals Such conditions can cause fish kills and the loss of

other vital aquatic species Both Jordan Lake and the Haw River are designated by the state

as ldquonutrient sensitive watersrdquo The state placed stricter limits on the amounts of nitrogen and

phosphorus that wastewater treatment plants can

discharge into these waters

The Cape Fear estuary has experienced fewer

instances of nutrient-related algae blooms and

fish kills than waters of the adjacent Neuse River

Basin Both regions however face similar pressures

caused by nonpoint source pollution (polluted run-off from land) For example stormwater runoff makes

the water unsuitable for various aquatic species Cities

and towns throughout the river basin are developing

strategies to reduce and treat runoff

As population and industry in the watershed continue to increase

conservation groups municipalities and other stakeholders are

cooperating to manage growth monitor water quality restore

wetlands and protect the other valuable resources of the Cape

Fear River Basin There are many opportunities for people to get

involved with grassroots efforts to protect community creeks

streams and rivers (See the list of contacts on the back of this

brochure) Individuals can also help by managing the quality andquantity of runoff by reducing the use of fertilizers pesticides and

other chemicals and controlling erosion on their properties
