| Dr. Timothy D. Nifong Becomes CCA NC's First General Counsel |
On December 8, 2009, CCA-NC launched a new era in its mission to protect and enhance North Carolina marine resources by entering into an agreement that makes Dr. Timothy D. Nifong CCA-NC's first General Counsel. Tim has long been an ardent conservationist as an attorney, scientist, and educator in North Carolina. He holds both a law degree and a doctorate in biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Tim spent a decade as an Assistant Attorney General in the Environmental Division of the NC Department of Justice. Among his many duties with the Attorney General's Office, Tim advised the NC Marine Fisheries Commission over a period of years, and the NC Division of Marine Fisheries under three Directors-Bill Hogarth, Bruce Freeman, and Preston Pate. Tim also served as counsel to the legislative Moratorium Steering Committee in the late 1990s, authoring that Commission's Final Report aimed at comprehensively revising state marine fisheries laws. After leaving the Attorney General's Office, Tim taught biology, botany, and environmental science at Louisburg College in Louisburg, NC. He was appointed by Governor Hunt in 1998 to the scientist seat on the Marine Fisheries Commission. In that role, Tim served as Vice-Chair of the Commission and as Co-Chair of the Commission's Habitat and Water Quality Standing Advisory Committee.
Tim is a native of Wilmington, NC. He and his wife, Jennifer, currently reside in Durham County where they are active in church and civic affairs and are the proud parents of four children. With almost three decades as a conservationist reflected in scientific research, legal practice, and teaching, Tim is excited to return to the realm of natural resource law. He looks forward to working with CCA-NC in its mission to "conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of ... coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public."
