Audubon North Carolina and the Currituck Sound Coalition have announced a new Marsh Conservation Plan that identifies the complex web of threats facing Currituck Sound, offering a blueprint of how best to protect and restore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe creation of the Marsh Conservation Plan was truly a collaborative effort by many partners,\u201d says Sarah Spiegler, coastal resilience specialist with North Carolina Sea Grant, one of the many partners on the coalition. \u201cContinued coordination and collaboration will be crucial in protecting these special places in northeast North Carolina and throughout our coast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extensive freshwater marshes of Currituck Sound comprise a rare ecosystem and provide habitat to a wide variety of wildlife. These same wetlands also support human communities by filtering water, serving as a buffer against erosion and flooding, and supporting a thriving recreation economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key strategies from the plan include conserving existing marshes, as well as identifying and protecting areas that could become wetlands in the future as seas rise and marshes migrate. The plan suggests prioritizing areas that both protect communities from flooding and create high quality wildlife habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warming Seas Means Shorter Lifespans for Many Fish Species<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New research finds that a small rise in temperature in the Atlantic is likely to increase the natural mortality rate of many marine fishes. A team of scientists examined archived life history data from 100 fish species common on the Scotian Shelf, part of the coastal Atlantic Ocean between the Labrador Current to the north and the warm waters of the Gulf Stream to the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using computer modeling, the research team explored how a predicted 10% decrease in maximum size of adult fish due to global warming would affect natural mortality rates. Their findings suggest that most bony fish species in the study will realize a 10.5% higher rate of natural mortality with a 1.8\u00b0 Fahrenheit rise in ocean temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modeling also predicted smaller-bodied fish species will experience greater increases in natural mortality than larger-bodied species. The researchers identified several fish species at \u201chigh\u201d or \u201cvery high\u201d risk, including many popular with recreational and commercial fishers: swordfish, spiny dogfish, Atlantic cod, greater amberjack, and summer flounder, among 32 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this research, scientists now have a simple approach to examine how natural mortality rates \u2014 and, thus, long-term population viability \u2014 might change with small increases in ocean temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShellCast App Predicts Lease Closures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A team at NC State University has collaborated with NOAA partners, the N.C. Shellfish Growers Association, N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, and others to create ShellCast, an app for predicting temporary shellfish lease closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state issues lease closures when storm runoff pollutes coastal waters and potentially contaminates shellfish, which, in turn, could lead to human health concerns. Unlike standard weather apps, ShellCast provides growers with targeted information specific to a lease area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTemporary closures of shellfish harvest areas are a big challenge for many North Carolina shellfish growers and can have a big effect on inventory management, cash flow, and, ultimately, the bottom line,\u201d says Eric Herbst, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal aquaculture specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnowing the likelihood of a closure occurring in the immediate future can help drive decisions regarding resource and time allocation to mitigate or manage the effects of a pending closure on business,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project began in 2020 under the direction of Natalie Nelson, who leads the Biosystem Analytics Lab at NC State. North Carolina Sea Grant, NC State\u2019s Biological and Agricultural Engineering department, and the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association all provided support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re continuing to improve ShellCast in response to grower feedback,\u201d says Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is FEMA Underestimating Flood Damage Exposure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New findings from North Carolina State University researchers suggest that recent flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency do not capture the full extent of flood risk. North Carolina Sea Grant and U.S. Geological Survey Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center supported the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study found a high probability of flood damage \u2014 including monetary costs, human injury, and loss of life \u2014 for more than a million square miles of land across the United States over a 14-year period. That was 790,000 square miles more than the flood risk zones FEMA\u2019s maps have identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing that there\u2019s a lot of flood damage being reported outside of the 100-year floodplain,\u201d said Elyssa Collins, a doctoral candidate in the NC State Center for Geospatial Analytics and the study\u2019s lead author. \u201cThere are a lot of places that are susceptible to flooding, and because they\u2019re outside the floodplain, that means they do not have to abide by insurance, building code, and land-user requirements that could help protect people and property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team determined that the 30 most high-risk counties in the nation include North Carolina\u2019s Dare, Hyde and Tyrrell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Education Specialist Joins Sea Grant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Erika Young is North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s new coastal and marine education specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young taught at the University of North Carolina Pembroke for 13 years, where she served as a mentor through the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement. She also engaged communities in science education through the Morehead Planetarium, the NC Science Festival, and Boys and Girls Clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI often visit local schools in underprivileged counties to talk to K-12 students about STEM fields,\u201d Young says. \u201cI grew up in Robeson County and understand how important it is to have a connection with your audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young says that as a Native American undergraduate she was unaware of career opportunities \u2014 until a summer herpetology study set her path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI collected local frogs and tadpoles from ponds to study pigmentation and camouflage,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience led to more opportunities for research, then a master\u2019s degree at Western Carolina University and a doctorate at UNC Chapel Hill, where she focused on aquatic ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am super excited to be a part of North Carolina Sea Grant,\u201d she says. \u201cI look forward to developing relationships with our various stakeholders and continuing stewardship for our coasts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charge Up on the Coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For drivers of electric vehicles, escaping to the North Carolina coast is becoming more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For travelers heading to Wilmington along I-40, the Mad Boar Restaurant & Pub in Wallace hosts several DC fast chargers. For Teslas, there are eight Supercharger stalls, and for other electric vehicles, Four County EMC provides a ChargePoint station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to North Carolina\u2019s Crystal Coast will find two stations available for guests at the Atlantis Lodge. In North Topsail Beach, Hampton Inn Sneads Ferry offers a publicly accessible charging station, thanks to Jones-Onslow EMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For beachgoers on Ocean Isle, Holden Beach, and Emerald Isle, Brunswick Electric and Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative have installed charging stations just minutes from the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halfway down Hatteras Island, motorists will find a ChargePoint DC fast charger, installed by Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative near the Avon Fishing Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have drivers coming from all over the country,\u201d says Laura Ertle, director of public relations and marketing at Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative. \u201cWe\u2019ve also seen an increase in the variety of vehicles that are charging. . . everything from hybrid minivans to high-end, all-electric vehicles from Audi, Porsche, and BMW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Reef Fisheries Fellow Serves the South Atlantic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ashley Oliver (above) has begun work as South Atlantic Reef Fish Extension and Communication Fellow, collaborating with South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and Sea Grant programs in the Southeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am very excited to connect with the fishermen in the southeastern region and spread valuable information on the best fishing practices that they can use,\u201d says Oliver, formerly a fisheries research technician at the University of Illinois. \u201cI want to make a difference in the fishery, not only for the fish populations themselves but also help fishermen share their valuable knowledge with scientists and managers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Baker, fisheries specialist at North Carolina Sea Grant, notes Oliver is planning for offshore media tours and a science symposium. \u201cShe understands that stakeholders and managers have different perspectives, and effective science communication needs to be clear and relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mel Bell, chair of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, adds that as the number of fishers targeting offshore species continues to grow, so does the importance of best fishing practices to ensure the survival of fish that require release, such as red snapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident this fellowship will benefit the snapper grouper fishery in our region,\u201d Bell says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New \u201cTangled in Trash\u201d App Relies on Grassroots Reporting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first reporting tool designed to document when and where marine debris harms animals in the Carolinas and Georgia is now available. The \u201cTangled in Trash\u201d app relies on information from anyone who finds wildlife entangled or injured in marine debris and trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re eager for people to begin documenting what they\u2019re seeing in North Carolina and across the region,\u201d says Gloria Putnam, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal resources and communities specialist, and a member of the team who provided input for the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Thorvalson, conservation programs manager for South Carolina Aquarium and coordinator for the project, says Tangled in Trash will collect several types of key information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than 200 species of wildlife have been documented as being affected by marine debris but interactions are not well understood,\u201d explains Thorvalson. \u201cThis tool will house reported wildlife and marine debris interactions to help users, researchers, wildlife responders and others identify critical trends and concerns and strategize actionable solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wildlife and Habitat Impacts Working Group, part of the NOAA-facilitated Southeast Marine Debris-Action Plan, offered insight and feedback on Tangled in Trash. The app uses Anecdata, an online platform available from the MDI Biological Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NOAA Marine Debris Program and National Marine Sanctuary Foundation funded the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coastal Resilience Competition Selects Winners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A team of students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have won North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s first Coastal Resilience Team Competition. The program will provide up to $20,000 for the team to conduct their two-year project, which is designed to support more resilient habitats and communities on the North Carolina coastal plain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate students Anne Smiley, Lauren Grimley, and Helena Garcia, along with undergraduate Jacqueline Ruiz, will collaborate on \u201cIncorporating Ecosystem Services into Flood-Resilience Planning in New Bern, North Carolina.\u201d Antonia Sebastian in the university\u2019s Department of Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences will direct the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlood resilience is a topic that spans the natural and social sciences,\u201d says Anne Smiley, graduate student lead for the project. \u201cAs the climate continues to change and floods become more frequent, we must develop strategies to increase community resilience. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with fellow students to address the topic of community flood resilience through a convergent lens. The team is excited to work together with the City of New Bern to translate this research to practice and maximize our impact in a region that prone to flood hazards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The team plans to quantify how climate change and alterations to the natural landscape influence ecosystems. In particular, they will look at flood-risk reduction and water-quality benefits, and they will assess the degree to which local plans support protection of the natural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis research takes an integrated approach to resilience that makes a crucial connection between impacts of climate change and land-use and development patterns on ecosystems and the services they provide,\u201d says Cayla<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cothron, climate resilience extension associate for North Carolina Sea Grant. \u201cI\u2019m hopeful that their work will generate invaluable information about how these factors are affecting natural systems and socially vulnerable populations and provide a framework for more holistic and equitable resilience planning that can help communities across NC that are increasingly dealing with these challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
