For an application to enroll in any of the workshops, write: Lundie Mauldin, UNC Sea Grant, Box 5001, Raleigh, 27650. Applications must be returned by April 18. Sport fishermen once reeled in Spanish and king mackerel by the dozens off the North Carolina coast. But things have changed. Charterboat captains say fewer and fewer mackerel are being caught each season. Why? Many blame commercial fishermen in Florida, who are now catching large quantities of the mackerel with gill nets and seines. Because the mackerel migrate north and south each year, large catches in Florida may affect catches in North Carolina. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils are concerned about the dwindling numbers of Spanish and king mackerel. Together, they have drafted a plan for the management of the fishery along the Gulf coast and the Atlantic coast from Florida to North Carolina. The plan also includes management plans for cobia. The councils will present the proposed plan for public comment at three North Carolina locations— March 10, Hatteras Civic Center, Hatteras; March 11, Carteret Technical Institute auditorium, Morehead City; March 12, Hilton Inn, Wilmington. All three meetings will be held from 7 until 10 Anyone can attend. Comments by the public will be reviewed before the final management plan is adopted.

Maybe you have been watching the shoreline in front of your beach house wash away and were wondering what you could do to slow the erosion. Then you might be interested in attending a workshop about planting dune and marsh grasses to stablize shorelines. The workshop will be held at the Marine Resources Center at Bogue Banks on April
