Budget includes funding for CFCC Marine Tech program

Cape Fear Community College can rest a little easier. The state has included funding for the Marine Technology offshore training program in the new budget.

Funding for a new research vessel is not a possibility at this time, but as of now, all funding to operate their current training vessels, including the RV Dan Moore has been restored,

CFCC marine program leaders did not want to comment until the budget is officially signed by the governor.
