The Down East Remembrance Act designates six creeks in Carteret County, North Carolina, with the names of six individuals who died in a plane crash on February 13, 2022. The creeks—Noah Styron Creek, Hunter Parks Creek, Kole McInnis Creek, Stephanie Fulcher Creek, Jacob Taylor Creek, and Daily Shepherd Creek—will officially be renamed to honor these lives, with the bill providing specific geographic coordinates for each waterway. The legislation does not include new funding or create any federal programs; it is a commemorative measure that updates all federal references to these creeks to reflect their new designated names. The bill was introduced by North Carolina Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for consideration.
