That region covers most of the Albemarle-Pamlico watershed, including the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico, Pasquotank, Chowan, lower Roanoke, and parts of the White Oak River basins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe interdisciplinary nature of this research project, which tackles invasive species as well as sediment-water column interactions, is very promising,\u201d explains Dean Carpenter, APNEP program scientist. \u201cThe resulting insights \u2014 into the interacting effects of invasive marsh grasses and wave energy on shoreline erosion and fish habitat\u00a0at landscape scale \u2014\u00a0will help to inform APNEP\u2019s approach to invasive species management and fish habitat\u00a0conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voigt studies marine science and works with David Eggleston, director of NC State\u2019s Center for Marine Sciences and Technology. \u201cI like interacting with Erin because of her insatiable curiosity, strong motivation and creative problem-solving,\u201d Eggleston says.<\/p>\n<p>Voigt will study how marsh species distribution, in particular native vs. invasive species, and wave exposure affect shoreline erosion and the availability of nursery habitats. She and Eggleston anticipate this work will identify factors that affect marsh shoreline erosion and growth along the Currituck, Albemarle, and Pamlico sound system. The study also will use an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, or drone) to map marsh\u00a0habitat change overtime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShallow marsh habitat is a vital nursery habitat of the blue crab, North Carolina\u2019s most lucrative fisheries species,\u201d Voigt notes. \u201cI hope to better understand the factors that determine the distribution and availability of those habitats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She is originally from Severna Park, Maryland, and earned a bachelor\u2019s in biology from St. Mary\u2019s College of Maryland\u00a0and a master\u2019s in ecology from San Diego State University.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina Sea Grant is a federal\/state partnership, with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, housed in the U.S. Department of Commerce.\u00a0Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncseagrant.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>www.ncseagrant.org<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Details about this and other Sea Grant fellowships and funding opportunities are available at\u00a0<em>ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/funding-opps\/. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership is hosted by the N.C.
