Join us for our annual fundraiser for the Eastern Carolina Artificial Reef Association (ECARA)! Taking place at the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, this is an evening social event featuring various exhibits on fishing and diving in North Carolina, food and drink, and a raffle. ECARA works with local partners to obtain materials, including vessels such as the Spar, to sink off our coast, and is is actively engaged in raising awareness about the importance of artificial reefs to the marine environment, and to the economy of eastern North Carolina. Help us with our mission by becoming a member of ECARA!
