Mission: NCSC was established in 1957 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to responsible shell collecting, marine conservation, and the study of malacology. The Club mission is to provide meaningful opportunities for members to share best practices, meet other shell enthusiasts, and engage in community outreach. Membership includes beachcombers, explorers, citizen scientists and world travelers and provides networking and mentorship opportunities. Proceeds from the annual NCSC Shell Show help fund several scholarships at UNC-Wilmington and Carteret County Community College. The Club joined the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce to facilitate relationships and partnerships with local businesses and organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n
