WILMINGTON – Volunteers spent their Tuesday planting wetlands around the Eagle Point golf course in Wilmington.

The goal is to improve water quality in the marsh and sound. New Hanover County partnered with N.C. State, UNC Wilmington and the North Carolina Coastal Federation on the project.

The Coastal Federation says storm runoff is the biggest source of pollution in coastal waterways. Planting wetlands is a way to keep pollutants out of the water.

In all, volunteers will plant five wetland buffer zones around the course.
