Abstract:
Between 1992 and 2001, in coastal waters from New Jersey to North Carolina, 210 bottlenose dolphins were killed by becoming entangled in gill nets used by fishermen. The dolphins become entangled either by accidentally running into the nets or by being caught while eating the fishing catch. Angione reports on a study funded by the North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant program to study whether acoustic alarms can keep the dolphins away from the gill nets.

Abstract:
Bycatch is a hotly debated topic among fishermen involved in inshore shrimping, individuals, and state agencies. Bycatch is the amount of non-targeted catch that fishermen net along with their intended catch. Inshore shrimping nets can scoop up valuable commercial and recreational fish, such as croaker, spot, gray trout, and flounder. If large numbers of these fish end up as bycatch, their populations will decline and affect sportsfishermen and other commercial fisheries. A North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant project assesses the bycatch generated in North Carolina's southeastern shrimp fisheries.

Abstract:
Roanoke Island is synonymous with the Lost Colony of the 1580s. A second colony flourished there during the Civil War. This one was composed of slaves who sought refuge behind the lines of Union soldiers, who occupied a portion of the eastern part of the state. By 1864, ex-slaves on the island numbered 2,700. Freedmen's Colony was a thriving community with churches, schools, and homes. Angione explores the history of this colony and how it is commemorated today.

Abstract:
Muzel Bryant was born on Ocracoke on March 12, 1904. She traces her lineage on the island back to the Civil War. At the war's close in 1865, all former slaves left the island. Her grandparents were the only two African Americans to move from the mainland to Ocracoke. Bryant has lived off the island only once when she worked during her teenage years in Philadelphia. Today, at the age of 100, she is an important link to Outer Banks history.

Abstract:
For over a century there has been a steady decline of the Eastern oyster in the Pamlico Sound. Habitat destruction, pollution, overharvesting, and disease are major factors in reducing the 1902 harvest of 1.8 million bushels to barely 49,000 in 2003. Working with satellite mapping and sonar imaging, Eugene Ballance of Ocracoke is transforming the 1886-1887 Navy survey maps of the oyster reefs in the Pamlico Sound into blueprints for restoring the Eastern oyster. The early maps were created by naval officer Lt. Francis E. Winslow, who, after retiring from the Navy, started the Pamlico Oyster Company in the late 1880s.
