Description:The Newport River estuarine system is located in central eastern North Carolina just south of Cape Lookout. The system is tripartite, consisting of the Newport River estuary proper, Back Sound/North River Estuary to the east and Bogue Sound (a lagoon) to the west. All share a common opening to the sea. Although physically small, the system has received considerable attention because of more than 100 years of scientific research primarily done at four local marine science laboratories. This report synthesizes what is known of the physical and chemical nature of the estuary, and is designed to provide background information to scientists, students and interested laymen and to provide the technical basis for understanding the impacts of human activites in and around this estuary.
