Abstract:

Remnants of the pound net, originally used by Croatan Indians and depicted in John White's drawings, can still be seen in North Carolina rivers of today. The pound nets of today are more sophisticated, but still lead fish into a trap and hold them there. A full size net is on display at the North Carolina Marine Resources Center on Roanoke Island.

Smith, Pam

Abstract:

In 1976, North Carolina opened three Marine Resource Centers at Pine Knoll Shores, Roanoke Island, and Fort Fisher that were meant to enhance coastal and marine science and education for researchers, teachers, and the public. In 1986, the sites were renamed aquariums. In the late 1990s, the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated $15 million to each site for a complete makeover. Smith discusses the changes to the aquariums and takes readers through the \"staff only\" doors for a glimpse for what goes on behind the scenes at an aquarium.
