Abstract:
The North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation in 2006 establishing the North Carolina Waterfront Access Study Committee. Access to water along the state's coastline is a hot topic, because piers, boat ramps, and other access points are being sold to developers. Getting to the water is becoming more difficult for the average citizen. The committee has held meetings in Manteo, Morehead City, and Wilmington, and 275 people have attended. Mosher discusses concerns and suggestions citizens offered to the committee.

Abstract:
A Fishery Resource Grant project to track turtles in the Pamlico Sound is also providing data for a marine life census that stretches around the world. The Pamlico project is designed to determine movements of loggerheads and other turtles in an effort to reduce the number of turtles caught in flounder gill nets. Using a single satellite, the project tracked forty-five turtles, making it one of the world's largest turtle-tracking studies. Mosher gives an update of the project.

Abstract:
Flounder is a popular food fish; however, a number of areas have been overfished, and some North Carolina waters have been closed. A flounder aquaculture has been profitable in Asia for a number of years. Korea is producing around twenty-one million tons a year. Researchers with the North Carolina Sea Grant program anticipate there will be commercial flounder production in the state in the next three to five years.

This group now handles about two-thirds of all tank maintenance.
