Commercial Fishing Resource\u00a0Fund. Dispersion of monies falls under\u00a0the Marine Fisheries Commission\u2019s Commercial Resource\u00a0Fund Committee\u00a0and the\u00a0Funding Committee for the N.C. Commercial Fishing Resource\u00a0Fund.<\/p>\n<p>The new projects cover economics, fishing industry training and oyster harvest enhancements. \u201cWe are pleased that the funding reflects the strength of the research proposals and the project teams we assembled,\u201d notes Frank Lopez, North Carolina Sea Grant extension director.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Harrison, Sea Grant\u2019s coastal economist, is leading a team to consider the economic impacts of the wild-caught commercial fisheries\u2019 harvests, including the fishing fleet and the supply chain that brings the fish and shellfish to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>The research team also includes Barry Nash, Sea Grant\u2019s seafood technology and marketing specialist; Chris Dumas, economist at the University of North Carolina Wilmington; Eric Edwards and Sara Sutherland, agricultural and resource economists at NC State University; and John Whitehead, an economist at Appalachian State University.<\/p>\n<p>Sea Grant\u2019s fisheries specialists, Scott Baker and Sara Mirabilio, will host in January 2020 a networking and skill-building workshop for a rising generation of men and women involved in commercial fishing. The effort builds upon an earlier series of workshops \u2014 coined Fish Camps \u2014 that were part of a Sea Grant-funded social science research project looking at aging in the fishing fleet as younger people seek jobs outside of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Workshop topics range from business management, to fisheries science \u2014 even the role of North Carolina seafood in the global marketplace. Partners on the project include: Barbara Garrity-Blake, adjunct scientist, Duke University Marine Laboratory; Susan West, freelance journalist; and UNC-TV.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez will lead the team looking to confirm \u201cspat on shell\u201d demonstration sites to enhance wild oyster stocks and potential harvests. The N.C. Farm Bureau is a key partner on the project, along with the N.C. Fisheries Association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">##<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Watch the North Carolina Sea Grant website, <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ncseagrant.org<\/a>, for updates on these projects, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/currents\/2019\/10\/new-research-to-examine-economic-impacts-of-nc-commercial-fisheries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog post <\/a>today about the fisheries economics study.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teams led by North Carolina Sea Grant extension specialists are starting three new research projects, thanks to grants from\u00a0the N.C.
