North Carolina Sea Grant congratulates Nate Bacheler on being awarded a\u00a0Presidential Early Career Award for\u00a0Scientists and Engineers<\/a>.\u00a0The award ceremony and reception will take place May 4, and awardees will visit the White House on May 5.<\/p>\n

This is the highest\u00a0honor bestowed by the U.S. government\u00a0on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent\u00a0careers. He is a research fisheries biologist\u00a0with NOAA\u2019s Marine Fisheries Service in\u00a0Beaufort.<\/p>\n

In 2002, Bacheler was awarded the\u00a0first fellowship co-sponsored by Sea Grant and the N.C. Division\u00a0of Marine Fisheries.\u00a0He also received Sea Grant funding in\u00a02003 and 2005 for his work on estimating\u00a0fishing and natural mortality rates for red\u00a0drum in North Carolina estuaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cSea Grant provided a major\u00a0springboard for my career in fisheries\u00a0science by introducing me to the snapper\u00a0grouper fishery in North Carolina, and\u00a0then funding the research for my doctoral\u00a0degree with Jeffrey Buckel<\/a> and Joseph\u00a0Hightower<\/a> at NC State University,\u201d\u00a0Bacheler explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy research during and after this\u00a0time provides applied, tangible fishery\u00a0benefits to the citizens of North Carolina,\u00a0thanks in large part to the inspiration,\u00a0encouragement and support of Sea\u00a0Grant,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Bacheler earned a doctorate and\u00a0master\u2019s degree from NC State and a\u00a0bachelor\u2019s degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan.<\/p>\n
