In late October, Gloria Putnam, coastal resources and communities specialist at North Carolina Sea Grant, spent a day in Wilmington with Frank Graff of UNC-TV. They taped a story for NC Science Now featuring the important roles that tidal creeks play in coastal ecosystems.  Watch for that piece in the coming months. But catch NC Science Now every week during NC Now on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
