Other Sea Grant Efforts In addition to the major research projects, North Carolina Sea Grant funds a pair of state- based fellowships. Patterned after Sea Grant's national Knauss Fellowship in marine policy, the N.C. Coastal Management Fellowship allows a graduate student to focus on planning and policy issues. In particular, this year's fellow, Lindsay Fullenkamp, is working on "smart growth" issues with additional funding from a partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency. The N.C. Marine Fisheries Fel- lowship is a partnership with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries. A new fellow is expected later this year. Sea Grant also funds "mini- grant" projects each year. Recent projects have included rapid responses to determine hurricane impacts. Minigrant projects also may provide groundwork for major research projects, such as studies on gender changes in flounder. Other recent minigrants have supported a documentary and book on Snead's Ferry, as well as curricula for middle and high school science lessons. North Carolina Sea Grant also encour- ages researchers here to compete for National Sea Grant initiatives funded by Congress. Current projects include oyster disease studies and ballast water technology research to limit introduction of invasive species. The public likely is most familiar with North Carolina Sea Grant's nationally recog- nized outreach efforts that translate the latest science into information useful to user groups, educators, community leaders and others. North Carolina Sea Grant's extension program includes specialists in fisheries, mari- culture, seafood technology, coastal construc- tion and erosion, marine education, law and policy, water quality, ecotourism and coastal communities. The communications team produces not only Coastwatch magazine, but also several newsletters, as well as a mix of books, bro- chures, fact sheets and content for the Web site www.ncseagrant.org. a COASTWATCH 25
