Coastwatch<\/em>\u00a0magazine released the Spring 2021 issue<\/a> today. The latest edition of North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s award-winning publication takes a behind-the-scenes look at the seafood processing industry, explores the experiences of Black marine scientists, reveals the role that luck played in the latest breakthrough on farmed striped bass \u2014 and more.<\/p>\n

Susan West\u2019s \u201cIn the Wake of Storms<\/a>\u201d explains how our state\u2019s capacity for seafood processing has declined \u2014 but also how wholesalers and distributors have built a network that rapidly deploys initial aid to coastal communities after hurricanes. The story highlights the work of a seminal Community Collaborative Research Grant<\/a> project.<\/p>\n

Diligence and hard-earned expertise contributed to a recent breakthrough that has positioned farm-fresh striped bass for commercial success, and \u201cMagic at 64.4 Degrees<\/a>\u201d reveals how scientists behind the innovation say they couldn\u2019t have done it without another key ingredient: luck.<\/p>\n

Being Black in the aquatic sciences and related fields presents a wide range of challenges for researchers. Lauren D. Pharr explores what it means for four scientists at different stages of their careers in \u201cBreaking Systemic Barriers<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome days, we even operated like a band of storm chasers,\u201d says Haley Plaas, former joint fellow with North Carolina Sea Grant and the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership. Plaas and her colleagues spent last summer chasing algal bloom sightings, and she explains why in \u201cIn Full Bloom<\/a>: Algae, Air Quality, and New Research on the Impacts of Cyanotoxins<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farmers and fishers have much in common in the way of obstacles\u00a0and opportunities, which North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal economist Jane Harrison explores in \u201cComparing Apples to Oysters<\/a>,\u201d her interview with Aaron Corn, a western N.C. apple farmer.<\/p>\n

Erin Voigt, former joint fellow with North Carolina Sea Grant and the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership, explains how blue crabs undergo dramatic changes in body shape over their lifetimes \u2014 and undertake a vast migration. Her \u201cCrabitat: Juvenile Blue Crab Habitats in Pamlico Sound<\/a>\u201d chronicles what she found and how her research has evolved.<\/p>\n

Do anglers fish illegally? How big was the megalodon shark? Are fewer people getting fishing licenses due to the pandemic? Scott Baker and Sara Mirabilio\u2019s latest edition of Hook, Line & Science<\/a><\/em> has these and more answers.<\/p>\n

In addition, Vanda Lewis has collected more succulent new recipes for\u00a0Mariner\u2019s Menu<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Spring 2021 issue also includes a Rip Currents Safety Poster<\/a>. Print it out, put it up, and save a life. (And share the link.)<\/p>\n
