Coastal Eco Explorer is an interactive mobile app for the exploration of coastal NC wildlife at Carolina Beach State Park and Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. Utilize the app at the parks, traverse the trails and ecosystems using the app’s map, and read and watch videos about native flora, fauna, and ecosystems. The mobile application was created as a partnership between UNC Wilmington faculty and students and North Carolina State Park rangers to bring a unique and free educational tool to park visitors, teachers, and the public.

This is something that has been needed in this form for a long time. I can see additional information being added over time. Love the simple format. Congratulations to the creators !!! Will be updating as often as available.
Amazing!

Very intuitive to use and packed with useful information. This handy tool makes visiting the park not only more informational but also loads more fun! There is nothing like the feeling of truly understanding what you are seeing in real time.
- Choose your park and see only that park’s sites, tours, and map.
- Find Learn, Explore, and Tours in a simpler menu.
- Hear a sound and feel a vibration when you reach the next stop on a tour.
- Spot trailheads on the map with “follow the signs” markers.
- Filter and search sites on Learn by park and type, including featured spots.
- Better button and text scaling for tablets.
- Fixed startup error.
