• Regulators Release a Plan to Help Repair the Contaminated Roanoke River (insideclimatenews.org) — A new consent decree aims to repair long-term industrial contamination in the Roanoke River right at Plymouth, including cleanup of dioxins that still limit how much local fish people should eat. Regulators, conservation groups, and a new environmental nonprofit say the plan could restore critical habitat, improve recreation, and bolster flood resilience for Plymouth and downstream communities that depend on the river and Albemarle Sound.
