Webb\u2019s experience in communications will be an asset as she serves as a liaison among fishers, scientists, and managers on issues of reef fish management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Sea Grant Reef Fish Fellowship has been incredibly valuable to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, from the Best Fishing Practices Initiative to the Council\u2019s Citizen Science Program to our general outreach initiatives,\u201d says Christina Wiegand, a social scientist on the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. \u201cNot only has the partnership allowed us to expand our outreach capacity, but it has brought in new perspectives, allowing us to continually update our outreach efforts in new and exciting ways. We\u2019re so excited to have Greyson on board and looking forward to seeing the new direction she takes the Fellowship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding for the fellowship is part of a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/seagrant.noaa.gov\/Multistate-Sea-Grant-extension-team-awarded-24-million-to-share-inform-reef-fish-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">multi-region, multi-state reef fish extension and outreach programming effort<\/a>&nbsp;to support sustainable fisheries through communication. The program\u2019s goals are to translate the science coming from counts of great red snapper and greater amberjack and provide information on this work\u2019s process, discoveries, and implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webb will work on projects that advance stakeholder understanding of reef fish issues and management, including advances in research related to red snapper, greater amberjack, and other managed reef fish species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a Charleston native, the communities and conservation issues I\u2019ll be engaging with hold a very special place in my heart,\u201d says Webb. \u201cI hope the efforts I put forth over the duration of this fellowship play a positive role in bridging the gap that exists in the world of fisheries to produce shared progress for our fishermen, scientists, management, and, of course, our marine ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/south-atlantic-reef-fish-extension-communication-fellowship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>more about the Reef Fisheries Fellowship<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; Carrie Clower<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2432\" height=\"1262\" src=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba.jpg 2432w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba-1024x531.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba-1536x797.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/01\/Kayelyn-Simmons-Knauss-scuba-2048x1063.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kayelyn Simmons, former Knauss fellow from North Carolina.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications Open for the 2026 Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE: CLOSED<\/strong>. <br>APPLY through the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eseagrant.ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eSeaGrant online portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina Sea Grant is accepting applications from North Carolina graduate students for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/john-a-knauss-marine-policy-fellowship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 Dean John A.
