North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s Hook, Line and Science<\/em>! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This month Hook, Line & Science<\/em> turns two years old. Yay! During that time, posts on flounder identification, changes in shrimp abundance, and fish tagging have been the most popular on the site, but there have been many others. In fact, with this post we also celebrate our 100th<\/sup> new<\/em> post. Not bad, considering there have been only 107 Mondays since our launch on December 3, 2018. That\u2019s important because we always post on Mondays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal, as scientists who specialize in marine fisheries, has been to provide saltwater anglers, in particular, and a broader audience, in general, with easy access to science-based information related to fishing and fisheries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And after all, science really isn\u2019t that useful unless we all have a chance to learn about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over these last 2 years, we personally have summarized a ton of different studies \u2013 and we have also recruited 29 guest authors to discuss their own work, including posts written by 14 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are The Top 20 Most Popular Posts of Hook, Line and Science<\/em><\/a><\/strong> as of our second birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
