<\/a> Contact: Madison Lytle and Andrew McMains will be the 2022 North Carolina Coastal Research Fellows. Their research will look at reduced water clarity\u2019s influence on seagrass growth; and the effects of dredging on inlet-inhabiting fish, respectively.<\/p>\n North Carolina Sea Grant<\/a> and the N.C. Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve <\/a>jointly fund this opportunity, which is open to graduate students across North Carolina. With funding for one year, recipients conduct research within one or more of the Coastal Reserve\u2019s 10 sites.<\/p>\n With the quality of applications received and the amount of work needed, two fellowship projects are being supported this cycle, rather than one project in recent years.<\/p>\n “We appreciate the partnership with North Carolina Sea Grant to fund student research at our reserves,” says Rebecca Ellin, program manager of the Coastal Reserve. “Support for these fellowships allow us to address important site management topics facing North Carolina\u2019s coast.”<\/p>\n
