FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Cultivating Innovative Responses to Coastal Challenges

My last note to you described our renewed commitment to engaging and supporting the activities of the North Carolina Sea Grant Advisory Board. This month, Sea Grant is hosting a research symposium as significant step, in a series of strategic initiatives, to seek stronger, renewed and sustained engagement with the range of stakeholders the program has served for decades. In addition, Sea Grant is seeking new partners who have a growing interest in collaborations that focus on the state’s coastal resource science and outreach needs in new ways.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Teamwork Offers Keys to Success

For example, the coming year will bring exciting opportunities to broaden Sea Grant's engagement with academic partners through a new Coastal and Marine Science Consortium that will include leaders of marine-focused programs across the University of North Carolina system and Duke University.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Forecast Calls for Change

Inside this edition of Coastwatch, you'll find out where to catch the Chefs Competition at the N.C. Seafood Festival in Morehead City, celebrate Hatteras Island culture at Day at the Docks, and bring the family out for fun at the Outer Banks Seafood Festival. I'm into eating, but if you're more into birding and biking — maybe not at the same time — head to the Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival or join Cycle North Carolina's annual Mountains to Coast ride.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Strong Science + Engaged Communities = Sea Grant Impacts

Such interinstitutional, collaborative efforts among university researchers, fishermen and local coastal decision makers continue to reinforce Sea Grant's role in bringing diverse expertise together to address coastal needs.
