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:
Sea turtles emerged around 110 million years ago. At their peak there were four families of them, each with several dozen species. Today, only two families survive. Amanda Southwood, a sea turtle researcher at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, received a North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant in 2006 to study sea turtle movements. The turtles studied are those that have become entangled in fishing nets in the lower Cape Fear River then released. Without satellite and high-frequency tags to track the turtles, there is no way to know if the released animal survived or not.

Abstract:
Elaine Logothetis, a Wilmington-based biologist, leads a project to tag mature female blue crabs in the ocean to track their movements and determine migratory patterns. The project is supported by the North Carolina Sea Grant Blue Crab Research Program. Tags are bright pink. Each contains a phone number or mailing address to report the capture date, location, and fishing method. In 2005, around 1,250 female crabs were tagged and released in the waters off Caswell and Holden beaches, as well as the Long Beach part of Oak Island. Almost half the tags were returned. Most crabs were recaptured within ten miles of the release point, although some made it as far as Myrtle Beach, SC. Among the findings from the 2005 release were that the crabs moved south and southwest; none ever traveled north of the Cape Fear River; and crabs returned to the nearest estuaries as they moved south.

Abstract:
Cape shark, also known as spiny dogfish, is typically abundant in North Carolina waters. Students at Cape Hatteras Secondary School created special cape shark recipes, and hope to spread awareness about the importance of fresh, local seafood. They are also developing tools to communicate cape shark research to the public.

Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service permanently closed Pamlico Sound's deep-water area to large gill net commercial fishing from September to mid-December 2002. The closing was because of sea turtle strandings and their interaction with gill nets. The closing was also detrimental to Hyde County fishermen. A North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant study examines Hyde County fishermen's use of experimental nets that are designed to produce a good flounder catch but avoid or reduce sea turtle entanglements.
