New Research To Focus on Contaminants in East Coast Waterways

"North Carolina Sea Grant is proud to be a key collaborator on emerging contaminants research," notes Frank López, NC Sea Grant extension director. "These new projects will provide research and outreach tools that we and others along the East Coast will use and/or adapt."

This rip current sign provides guidance on swimming safety. It advises swimmers caught in rip currents to 1) relax, because rip currents don’t pull you under; 2) not swim against the current; 3) swim out of the current, then to shore; 4) float or tread water if they can’t escape; 5) yell or wave for assistance if they need help.

Even if you know how to recognize, avoid and if necessary escape a rip current, check these links to help you share messages with friends and family.
