Sci NC’s Michelle Lotker discovers how NC organizations partner to save the endangered Cape Fear shiner, a tiny native fish that turns gold during breeding season. She visits the fish’s natural habitat with Brena Jones of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and sees how Edenton National Fish Hatchery bolsters the fish’s population with hatchery manager Sonia Mumford and biologist Brandi Symons.

The North Carolina Year of the Trail series is presented by the State Employees Credit Union Foundation.
