North Carolina Sea Grant research tackles important issues across the state. In the Spring 2016 issue of Coastwatch<\/em><\/a> magazine, Katie Mosher highlights the program’s latest projects<\/a> that cover a spectrum of relevant coastal issues.\"Coatwatch<\/p>\n

Two projects that benefitted early from North Carolina Sea Grant funding continue to draw attention. Brad Rich traces the crystal skipper’s journey from early sighting to receiving species status, and Nash Dunn outlines the latest developments with People-First Tourism, Inc.<\/p>\n

The green tree frog has shown the ability to thrive in habitats of higher salinity than other frog species and draw in young students. Janna Sasser explains the research and outreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

North Carolina Sea Grant and N.C. Catch led seafood purveyors on a tour of the state’s fishing industry that highlighted efforts to market local products. E-Ching Lee goes along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Nichole Riddle checks in on the latest developments in North Carolina’s Hydrilla<\/em> saga, including a new multiagency task force.<\/p>\n

Would you eat cape shark? With a fork? With your fingers? Not at all? Sea Grant researchers surveyed consumers for answers to these questions by serving it in traditional and imaginative ways. Lee shares the results.<\/p>\n

Spencer Rogers discusses ongoing efforts<\/a> to collect more accurate and useful storm-surge data to help improve future predictions.<\/p>\n

The hot, summer season is fast upon us, and with it comes lots of beach trips. To keep you and your family safe from rip currents during these outings, print this poster<\/a> and use the tips while in the water. Let’s all learn to \u201cBreak the Grip of the Rip!\u201d<\/p>\n
