Abstract:
Luetze discusses the decline in fish stocks worldwide. Almost a third of the fish stocks, as revealed in a four-year study of catch records, were 90 percent below the maximum historical catch level. Predictions are that by the mid-2000s the stocks will be practically nonexistent, affecting two hundred million people who fish for a living and one billion people who depend on fish as their primary food. He discusses the importance of renewing the Magnuson-Stevens Act of 1976, which established fishery councils to manage resources and fishing activities in the federal two-hundred-mile limit off the national coastline. Only in North Carolina's Southeastern Atlantic region has there been any progress is protecting and rebuilding fish stocks.

The program began in 1998 under the direction of Dr. Wade Watanabe, a research professor at UNCW's Center for Marine Science. Watanabe coordinates the center's aquaculture programs. The other program is smaller and was started by Jeff Wolfe, an enterprising local fisherman.

Abstract:
Along the North Carolina coast a hostile relationship exists between recreational and commercial fishermen. Each group for their own reasons fears the other and what they might do. Leutze discusses some of the perceptions the two groups have of each other. For example, commercial fishermen feel recreational ones are insufficiently regulated, while they have to deal with all kinds of rules, regulations, and quotas. Recreational fishermen think that commercial people are unconcerned about exploiting the fisheries. Leutze suggests airing these perceptions to reach a middle ground. For example, commercial fishermen do care about the fisheries because their livelihood depends on them.

Abstract:
Wilmington-based Cape Fear Riverwood Corp. recovers centuries-old logs from the bottom of the Cape Fear River. Loggers from the late 1700s to early 1900s floated them downriver. Many that sank along the route are rare old-growth cypress, loblolly pine and longleaf pine between 300 and 700 years old. Once cut, the wood is used in flooring, furniture, and house building. The old growth wood is more desirable because it is stronger, yet softer on the feet when used as flooring, and has more interesting growth patterns. The seven-year-old company was purchased sixteen months ago by a group of investors.
