North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s 2014 research symposium has lived up to its title: Investments and Opportunities.The event enabled researchers to share results and impacts of projects funded by Sea Grant. In addition, it facilitated stakeholder discussions to identify new opportunities and collaborative partnerships that would address the state\u2019s current and emerging coastal needs.<\/p>\n

Based on topics and issues highlighted during the symposium, Sea Grant requested research proposals focused on infrastructure in the coastal zone, long-term datasets, tidal creek systems and research to inform restoration.<\/p>\n

Projects could examine how infrastructure interacts with the natural system, use existing long-term data sets to enhance the management of coastal resources, advance knowledge and management of tidal creek systems, or enhance the success of future restoration activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chosen projects address one or more focus areas \u2014 and continue the momentum that the symposium began,\u201d notes John Fear, Sea Grant deputy director.<\/p>\n

Three projects have been selected for funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnecting long-term trends in estuarine hypoxia to phytoplankton and fisheries in the context of climatic and anthropogenic perturbations\u201d will identify how human-induced, low-oxygen events affect phytoplankton and commercial fisheries stocks in the Neuse River Estuary. Researchers Hans Paerl and Benjamin Peierls are with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019s Institute of Marine Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemographics of American eels (Anguilla rostrata<\/em>) inhabiting tidal creeks of coastal North Carolina: The importance of urbanization\u201d will examine the effects of development near tidal creeks on juvenile American eels. Jeffrey Buckel and Paul Rudershausen are researchers with NC State University\u2019s Center for Marine Sciences and Technology<\/a>. Laura Lee is a researcher with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding broad-scale drivers of coastal wetland extent\u201d will look at factors that control growth and reduction of coastal wetlands. Those conclusions will help to forecast wetlands loss and to better target restoration efforts. The principal investigator is James Heffernan with Duke University\u2019s Nicholas School of the Environment<\/a>.<\/td>\n
