North Carolina Sea Grant has recently earned multiple honors for communications.<\/p>\n

The overall program was selected to receive the WRAL Dan Wilkinson Conservation Communication Award from the Wake County Soil and Water Conservation District. Members of the Sea Grant communications team also earned writing and photography honors from the N.C. Association of Government Information Officers, or NCAGIO.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to have these distinct honors,\u201d says Susan White, Sea Grant executive director. \u201cOne identifies the combined outreach strength of our communications and extension teams, who provide science-based information to varied audiences from the coast to the piedmont, and ultimately statewide. The other awards reflect the respect of NCAGIO peers for our excellent products that engage the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wilkinson Award was presented by Elizabeth Gardner, a WRAL meteorologist, at the district\u2019s annual banquet. The event also included honors for student posters, a Big Sweep partner, an urban agriculture leader and farm family, among others.<\/p>\n

The N.C. Association of Government Information Officers honored two Coastwatch<\/em> contributors: E-Ching Lee, for her cover story on how to experience the solar eclipse (right); and Vanda Lewis, for photography featured in the Spring 2017 issue (left).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cNorth Carolina Sea Grant is one of the best influences in guiding our state’s citizens on how to put science into action,\u201d Gardner said during the awards ceremony.\u00a0\u201cJust like soil and water conservation work, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s work is hands-on and has a practical application to benefit water quality and our overall quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NCAGIO awards were announced at the group\u2019s annual seminar.<\/p>\n

E-Ching Lee\u2019s \u201cA Moment Out of the Sun<\/a>,\u201d a primer on how to experience this past summer\u2019s solar eclipse, earned first place for news releases and feature stories. The judges noted that the story mixes facts and safety tips \u201cin a manner that isn\u2019t in your face or too academic.\u201d Lee was Sea Grant\u2019s managing editor when the story was written. She has since taken a job in the private sector.<\/p>\n

Vanda Lewis won third place in photography for her contributions to the Spring 2017 issue<\/a> of Coastwatch<\/em>, including the cover photo (see photo at right), which the judges described as a \u201cvery inviting landscape.\u201d The issue also included food photos accompanying Lewis\u2019 selection and testing of recipes from the magazine through the decades. Lewis is retiring soon.<\/p>\n
