Join us on Saturday, July 18, for a hands-on teacher workshop guiding you through our new curriculum and website.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the curriculum, you will learn about more resources, such as weekly blog posts that will be made during the school year. Topics will include species profiles, aquarium staff spotlights, behind-the-scenes videos, new lesson plans and more. Even follow the growth of the N.C. Aquarium hatchling sea turtles by visiting the blog each week!<\/p>\n<p>Aligned with the new Common Core standards, your class will be able to \u201cadopt\u201d a turtle and learn about its care and growth. By adopting our sea turtle, you will receive weekly updates with information, including the turtle\u2019s current weight and length. Each class also will receive a certificate of participation.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the workshop, you will be familiar with the website and curriculum and how to implement the lessons in your own classroom. The workshop will include a behind-the-scenes tour to meet one of our sea turtles. Please pack a waste-free lunch, as there will not be food available on site. This workshop will count toward N.C.

Coastal Federation is teaming up with North Carolina Sea Grant for an offshore fishing trip on the <em>Miss Hatteras<\/em> that includes some fisheries research! The trip is scheduled for May 30, from 6:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The<em> Miss Hatteras<\/em>, a 75-foot head boat, will leave from Oden\u2019s Dock in Hatteras Village and head to the Gulf Stream where participants will bottom fish for a variety of species.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina Sea Grant, New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium and Virginia Sea Grant Extension staff are collaborating with industry leaders to develop descending devices that can safely return fishes to depth. Deepwater anglers often catch fishes that may have bulging eyes, bloated abdominals or protruding tissue. These are known signs of barotrauma that occur in some bottom fish species from a swift change in pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this project is to increase survivorship of fishes with barotrauma after release. So, on this fishing trip, the project team will field-test some prototype devices. Join us on this unique offshore fishing experience and participate in cutting-edge research alongside a team of fisheries specialists.<\/p>\n<p>This adventure is free, but a suggested donation of $60 will help support the costs for disadvantaged, at-risk youth who will join us on this one-of-a-kind expedition.
