With 2023 on the horizon, ShellCast is expanding along the south Atlantic coast to benefit shellfish growers in Florida and South Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initial development of ShellCast was funded by North Carolina Sea Grant as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/news\/2020\/01\/nc-sea-grant-announces-2020-2022-core-research-projects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a core research project for its 2020-2022 cycle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prior to this expansion, the ShellCast team \u2014\u00a0 led by Natalie Nelson, an engineering researcher at NC State \u2014\u00a0 coordinated a pilot program for users to test the app. Participants in the pilot provided feedback that the ShellCast team then used to make improvements to the app before publicly releasing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Expanding the impact<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nelson anticipates expansion of the app into South Carolina by early 2023 and later into Florida \u2013 new waters and new uses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nelson and her team received funding from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/secoora.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as part of a grant aimed at connecting important coastal tools and expanding their use across the southeast. The other two applications receiving grant funding alongside ShellCast are the University of South Carolina\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/howsthebeach.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How\u2019s the Beach?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium\u2019s<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/visitbeaches.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beach Conditions Reporting System<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Expanding ShellCast into South Carolina is relatively straightforward, a near \u201ccopy-paste\u201d of many elements in the NC app as Nelson describes it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But making ShellCast available to Florida shellfish growers is a bit more complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/federalstate-food-programs\/national-shellfish-sanitation-program-nssp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration\u2019s National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> provides basic sanitation requirements for shellfish grown and harvested for human consumption, states are able to build off of these standards and maintain management programs that work for their specific resource management agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To address these discrepancies and provide an app more specific to Florida, Nelson brought in Natalie \u201cNat\u201d Chazal. A master\u2019s student studying biological and agricultural systems analysis at NC State, Chazal optimized models that could be used to improve the app in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chazal explains that the main difference in Florida\u2019s management protocol comes down to their use of an alternate sampling method to test water quality. Officials in North Carolina and South Carolina use a systematic random routine sampling method, which samples waters when they are not closed or are presumed to be clean to determine water quality statistics. Alternatively, Florida uses an adverse pollution condition as their routine sampling method, a method capturing \u201cworst case\u201d conditions such as those following rain events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To develop state-specific models, Chazal spent the summer collecting and processing water quality data from Florida. She used these data to build upon existing models developed by Megan Carr, a PhD student studying biological and agricultural engineering at NC State, for Florida shellfish waters. Since then, Chazal and the ShellCast team have met with collaborators and presented their findings through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/secoora.org\/webinar-shellbase-database\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SECOORA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.org\/montreal2022\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ecological Society of America\u2019s annual conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Giving back and looking ahead<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chazal, who\u2019s originally from coastal North Carolina, looks forward to helping more shellfish growers manage their harvest schedules: \u201cGrowing up in Carteret County has given me an appreciation for community,\u201d she notes. \u201cIn a way, this research is directly giving back to my community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The utility of regulatory data is useful beyond ShellCast\u2019s purposes and can provide insight into coastal systems\u2019 changes over time, but with different management criteria come data types and structures that vary by state. As a result, Nelson and her team designed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.secoora.org\/?ls=xf8tezbE#map\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ShellBase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a database integrating data from different state programs into a consistent, accessible format.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, ShellBase houses water quality data for Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina\u2019s coastal waters from the 1980s until 2020. Nelson and her team are seeking additional funding to support database updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read about the initial release of the ShellCast app to the public <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/news\/2022\/02\/shellcast-application-helps-growers-forecast-harvest-closures\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How\u2019s the Beach? is a collaborative project between the University of South Carolina, SECOORA, and the <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/ian.umces.edu\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integration and Application Network at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> providing real-time beach water quality information to the public.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium&#8217;s<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Citizen Science Information Collaboration encourages the public to report conditions that may indicate Florida red tide, like dirty water and dead fish, which can affect swimming conditions for beach goers along the Gulf of Mexico.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em><strong>Carrie Clower<\/strong> is a science communication intern with North Carolina Sea Grant, a Ph.D. student at NC State University, and a former AgBioFEWS Fellow through NC State\u2019s Genetic Engineering and Society Center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A digital tool for North Carolina&#8217;s Shellfish growers soon will forecast last-minute lease closures in Florida and South Carolina, too.
