Abstract:
The Oyster has been enjoyed throughout North American coasts for over 3,000 years, and being such a popular dish along the east coast has, in fact, endangered the species as well as their natural habitat. The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries is concerned with the long-term effect of environmental stressors and overharvesting, so, in response, the N.C.D.M.F. has launched programs focusing on supporting the regrowth and repopulation of the species.

Abstract:
North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries provided researchers with a trawl survey-- a tool used to measure the distribution of finfish and macro-invertebrates (lobster, crabs, horseshoe crabs clams, crayfish, etc.). This tool allowed researchers to observe the activity of over 166 species throughout 13 years; survey results demonstrated that NC experienced 5 hurricanes and 4 tropical storms, mainly affecting "Spanish mackerel, smooth dogfish, cownose ray, horseshoe crab, common carp, longnose gar, spot, white catfish, weakfish and bowfin."

Abstract:
North Carolina Oyster farmers are facing a "pushback" from homeowners and lawmakers. Bogue Sound, located on the borders of Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach, is seen as a huge contributor to North Carolina's $30 million oyster industry but may be under scrutiny by locals using moratoriums--temporary prohibitions of activity.
