Coast\"\"<\/a>watch<\/em> magazine, North Carolina Sea Grant’s flagship publication, has won a 2020 APEX Award of Excellence in print publications. The award is the sixth prominent honor for the print and online magazine in just the last two years.<\/p>\n

The quarterly publication reaches a quickly growing audience that includes over 120,000 readers annually. Recent issues have offered signature features on climate change<\/a>, seafood safety<\/a>, and the Outer Albemarle Penninsula\u2019s striking dark skies<\/a>, as well as the seminal \u201cWingina, Wanchese and Manteo: A Lumbee Perspective on the Lost Colony<\/a>,\u201d and a retelling of Hurricane Floyd\u2019s rising floodwaters<\/a> through eyewitness accounts.<\/p>\n

Communications Concepts, Inc. advises publishing and marketing professionals and presents the APEX Awards for Publication Excellence. This year, the competition received 1,183 entries.<\/p>\n

Last year, the N.C. Association of Government Information Officers awarded Coastwatch<\/em> \u201cBest Print Publication,\u201d after naming it runner-up in the same category in 2018. The magazine\u2019s science editor, Julie Leibach, has earned NCAGIO\u2019s \u201cBest Feature\u201d award in 2018<\/a> and 2019<\/a>, with North Carolina Sea Grant extension specialist Sarah Spiegler also garnering second place recognition for her\u00a0Coastwatch<\/em> feature in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Editor Dave Shaw says Coastwatch <\/em>benefits from a deep well of Sea Grant expertise and a long tradition of award-winning excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoastwatch<\/em> sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and real-world solutions,\u201d Shaw says. \u201cAs a product of the people and projects that drive North Carolina Sea Grant, we never suffer from a shortage of quality material. Thanks to Sea Grant\u2019s team and resources, and an audience eager to read our stories, we\u2019re reaching more and more people every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw says that for the last two decades, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s communication director, Katie Mosher, has shepherded the magazine as it has grown, which has included leading it through its critical transition from a print-only periodical to a hybrid print-and-online publication.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoastwatch<\/em> has been able to establish a massive online archive<\/a> of free stories,\u201d Shaw says. \u201cToday, readers can search the magazine by issue, by subject, and by what\u2019s most popular \u2014 and tens of thousands of people are accessing this content alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
