Alligators are all up and down coastal NC or more to the point inner coastal NC. For exaample-Take a look at the northern section of NC and you'll find the Alligator River.
They are not saltwater species. Usually encounters with alligators along the coastal region is when we have had a severe and extended drought or heavy rains. During these events the water salinity in the back creeks and rivers changes and the alligators either move further up or further down stream than where they normally would be.
I've never heard of a gator in Carteret County, but it does not surprise me. I know they're around Wilmington and up to the Great Dismal Swamp.
I hace cheifly on the back end in the Harlowe, ICW area traveling up 101 into Craven. Adams Creek, Cahooque Creek and all the other various backwaters in those areas.

Supposedly, the Cape Fear region and then the Hyde County area have more gators than anywhere north of Florida.
