The Summer 2019 issue of Coastwatch<\/em> magazine<\/a> takes an in-depth look how state officials are keeping home-grown shellfish safe to eat. The latest edition of North Carolina Sea Grant’s flagship publication also explores much more, including new science and initiatives affecting coastal North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Coastwatch<\/em> opens with Julie Leibach’s cover story “Testing the Waters<\/a>” on the state of North Carolina’s rigorous process to\u00a0ensure shellfish are safe to eat.<\/p>\n

In “Land Versus Sea,<\/a>” an epic saga is taking shape at our coast, where incremental changes will have dramatic consequences, as scientists are measuring whether marshland can keep up with sea level rise.<\/p>\n

“Don’t Cut Down that Tree!<\/a>” reveals how some trees can provide homeowners with a protective buffer against hurricane-force winds that otherwise might tear apart their roofs \u2014 but which trees should property owners plant and maintain?<\/p>\n

“Young Minds Enjoy New Green Infrastructure<\/a>” tells how stewardship begins early and upstream. In this case, students at an inland elementary school are learning to limit runoff and thus preserve a small, urban creek.<\/p>\n

For “Hook, Line & Science,<\/a>” our fisheries specialists break down the latest research on topics from life jackets to noise-sensitive toadfish.<\/p>\n

New research suggests all marshes have tipping points, and “Which Wetlands Will Survive?<\/a>” offers the latest findings.<\/p>\n

Recreational crabbers will find tips from our experts in “Gone Crabbin’<\/a>” about how to manage gear and harvest crabs responsibly.<\/p>\n

Plus: With the support of new fellowships from North Carolina Sea Grant and our partners, a fresh group of talented movers and shakers<\/a> are poised to advance several fields for years to come.\u00a0North Carolina Sea Grant also is preparing for the 2019 North Carolina Coastal Conference, and highlights several recent conferences<\/a> in which Sea Grant and partners have played key roles.<\/p>\n

And you can do your part to Break\u00a0the Grip of the Rip!<\/em><\/a> Share our free poster on rip currents \u2014 or print it out and put it up \u2014 and save a life.<\/p>\n

The Summer 2019 issue of Coastwatch<\/em><\/a> also provides news on the NC Local Food Council; PFAS pollution levels in fish and alligators;\u00a0 research on warming waters and male flounder; the science of mapping sites for oyster reefs; and beautiful artwork from King Nobuyoshi Godwin, a young artist with autism.<\/p>\n
