FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact:<\/em><\/strong> As the fall fishing season gets underway, Jennette\u2019s Pier<\/a> in Nags Head offers visitors a new opportunity to learn about coastal fisheries via Hook, Line & Science<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s popular blog is now featured in a video exhibit at the pier, part of the North Carolina Aquariums. \u201cIt is a natural partnership to share the Sea Grant science outreach with our audiences,\u201d says Mike Remige, pier director and a member of the North Carolina Sea Grant Advisory Board.<\/p>\n Those audiences include all ages. In normal years, the pier draws about 300,000 visitors to view educational exhibits, and about 175,000 who pay to access the pier.<\/p>\n In the exhibit, three videos play in sequence highlighting some of the blog\u2019s most popular topics.<\/p>\n A fourth video that introduces North Carolina Grant was created in a previous project.<\/p>\n Sara Mirabilio and Scott Baker, Sea Grant fisheries specialists, developed and write the weekly Hook, Line & Science<\/em> blog, working with editor Dave Shaw. \u201cOne of our main goals with the blog is to educate anglers about scientific research that relates to fishing,\u201d Baker says.<\/p>\n \u201cWe focus on themes that, according to our previous survey<\/a>, are of highest interest to N.C. saltwater anglers,\u201d Mirabilio adds.<\/p>\n NC State\u2019s DELTA office assisted with video production, and the Coastal Studies Institute, part of East Carolina University, permitted software reuse and provided IT support.<\/p>\n For more information on viewing the exhibit, check the Jennette\u2019s Pier site online at jennettespier.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n
