	Cape Fear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cape Fear is a prominent headland on the Atlantic coast of North Carolina in the southeastern United States.
		It is largely formed of barrier beaches and the silty outwash of the Cape Fear River as it drains the southeast coast of North Carolina through an estuary south of Wilmington.
		The cape is the southernmost point of the state of North Carolina, formed where two sweeping arcs of shifting low-lying beach intersect, the result of longshore currents which also form the treacherous, shifting Frying Pan Shoals, part of the ship graveyard of the Atlantic.

	State Water Resources Research Institute Program
		We propose to use the sub-watersheds of the three Lock and Dam structures in Cape Fear river to estimate the nutrient (Phosphorus and nitrogen) retention capacity of river bank and adjoining wetland sediments.
		For instance, results from a USDA funded study at the Barra Farms Cape Fear Regional Mitigation Bank, reveal particulate bound phosphorus from agricultural land may be an important form of input to the Cape Fear River (Neal Flanagan, personal communication).
		The trend of water quality degradation and the emphasis on developing a long-term feasible water quality management practice in the Cape Fear River basin underscores the need for such sediment oriented study, that addresses the role of sediments as nutrient sinks while visualizing the various forms in which nutrients are loaded in the system.

		The account of John and Rena's journey down the Cape Fear on the steamship, "the Old North State," provides another interesting glimpse into the life of "old Fayetteville." A little over a century ago, steamship travel was still a principle means of transportation to and from Fayetteville.

		Chesnutt was aware that because of Fayetteville's proximity to the Cape Fear River, the area was subject to floods.
