Abstract:
This article describes how two projects have expanded beyond their early support from the North Carolina Sea Grant. On the southern coast of North Carolina, a new species of butterfly, the crystal skipper, makes its permanent home within a 30-mile stretch of sand dune. People-First Tourism, Inc., (P1t) creates an online marketplace where the public has direct pathways to vetted microentrepreneurs.

Abstract:
In a two-year study along North Carolina’s coast, the effects of sea-level rise and saltwater exposure on freshwater amphibians were investigated. Research findings show that the green tree frog has shown the ability to thrive in habitats of higher salinity than other frog species. These results are derived from the discovery of green tree frogs living and thriving in saltwater marshes of relatively high salinity.

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:
In eastern North Carolina, farmland is lowland, so it must be drained to provide potential. But much of the freshwater drained out of the land funnels into brackish waters where young fish grow but are being inhibited by the freshwater. New research will attempt to manage this outflow in order to reap the benefits from both farmland and fish harvests.

Abstract:
North Carolina fishermen have made themselves a reputation. To support a fisherman and his family year round he must be mobile, and many North Carolina fishermen are proving their worth as they cross state lines into places like Florida or Massachusetts to challenge other fishermen for their catch. Ongoing projects through NC Sea Grant have sent three East Carolina University anthropologists to study just how unique North Carolina fishermen really are.
