Abstract:
When pulled quickly from deep depths, many fish experience barotrauma. Symptoms of barotrauma include bulging eyes and internal organs protruding from external parts of the body. Sea Grant specialists and charter boat captains teamed up to develop techniques and technology to increase the survival numbers of catch and release fish that experience barotrauma.

Abstract:
A problem facing shrimpers when the nets are pulled in is bycatch, or unintended catch. Once the shrimp are brought onboard, shrimpers have to sort through them, and having bycatch, which has to be returned to the ocean, slows down the process. Lee reports on the research of John Broome, a Wilmington-based shrimpers, to create new gear that would allow shrimp to be culled faster and return bycatch to the water faster.

Abstract:
Oyster reef revitalization efforts are being addressed by North Carolina’s Sea Grant and Space Grant. While the goal is to rebuild healthy oyster reefs, a sustainable population can also help the ecosystem by filtering water to create better water quality, and healthier fish populations and aquatic plant life. Using geospatial analysis, researchers hope to help guide decision-making processes to ensure that the reefs are restored correctly and with the maximum impact.

Abstract:
The Blue Crab Research Project, funded by the North Carolina General Assembly and administered by the North Carolina Sea Grant Program, is testing the effectiveness of different sizes of cull rings for crab pots along seven of the state's estuaries. Cull rings, or escape rings, allow undersized crabs to escape from the crab pot. Fewer sub-legal crabs in the pots means crabbers spend less time sorting their catches. Results of the study will be available in the summer of 2007.

Abstract:
Sneads Ferry is the top producer of black sea bass in the South Atlantic. Lee reports on a North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant project that seeks to study the efficiency and effectiveness of different configurations of black sea bass pots. The project has three main tasks: to determine if a certain pot type catches more legal sea bass; discover if a particular pot type catches more undersized sea bass; and compare the health of the released sub-legal sea bass from each pot type. The study is being conducted in Onslow Bay.

Abstract:
A tour group led by North Carolina Sea Grant’s fisheries specialist visited Wanchese, Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, and Carteret County. The intermingling of individuals from across the country, Canada, and North Carolina revealed how commercial fishermen are fostering community and commerce in old and new fashioned ways. Discoveries included the development of Community Supported Fisheries and an app for relaying information about catches to consumers.

Abstract:
Tom Burgess and Paul Rudershausen are conducting research to match mesh size on catch boxes to black sea bass length. They are seeking to find a mesh size that will meet the new black sea bass fishery standard of trapping fish eleven inches or longer and insuring the release of the remainder. Lee reports on their work.

Abstract:
The Aurora Fossil Museum is just one of many museums in the North Carolina Grassroots Science Museums Collaborative (GSMC). Since 1990, the GSMC has helped facilitate cooperative projects between members, enabled them to develop exhibits, and expand science education around North Carolina. There are now 25 member institutions in the GSMC, all of which benefit from acting as a cohesive unit for funding opportunities and intellectual sharing.
