Joe Albea |
2008 |
Mr. Albea has distinguished himself in his
dedicated efforts to educate the general public on fisheries and wildlife
conservation issues in North Carolina. Mr. Albea has certainly met this
objective and has gone much further in identifying and championing the
traditional heritage values of fishing and hunting to the citizens of the
state. Joe was also instrumental in organizing grassroots opposition
against the Navy's planned outlying landing field (OLF) in Washington
County near the Pocosin National Wildlife Refuge. His efforts helped to
successfully convince political leaders to drop this OLF site from
consideration. |
