Membership

The Carolina Beach Inlet Association (CBIA) educates the public and politicians on the importance of keeping North Carolina’s Shallow Draft Inlets dredged for safe navigation. Support for CBIA is vital to the ongoing preservation of the Carolina Beach inlets and the economic value it brings to both property values and economic business impact.

Your support enables us to

  • Organize the organization, its membership, committees, and a board of directors.
  • Secure a venue for Monthly Membership Meetings, Committee Meetings, and Board Meetings, once a month.
  • Put on fundraising events such as the Annual Chowder Cook-Off and other events throughout the year.
  • Attend other non-profit & charitable events that invite us to set up a tent and promote the efforts of the CBIA.
  • Offset the cost of Member expenses to attend meetings being held across the state by the State of NC, Division of Water Resources and Marine Fisheries.

Membership Packages

Anyone can become an Associate Member with a minimum donation of $50/year. Associate Members enjoy many of the same privileges as those with full memberships, but do not have voting rights. Full, also referred to as Voting Memberships, are offered and available for a minimum donation of $100 (renews 9/1/25) to anyone who is an owner, operator, captain, or employee of a charter headboat, commercial vessel, or recreational boat. Additionally, full memberships are available to any area resident, merchant, or business person sharing a common interest in the activities of the Association. The area of membership is primarily the Southeastern section of North Carolina, but certainly not limited to just this area.
