Use it to mend a sand dune cut down by vehicles or people. Just lay the tree in a gap in the dune line, parallel to the beach and away from the surf. In windy areas, a tree can trap up to five feet of sand a year. According to Spencer Rogers, Sea Grant's coastal engineering specialist, beach winds pick up sand as they move along. But the wind will drop its load if it meets an obstacle like the thick branches of a Christmas tree. When you do build a dune, protect it. Plant it with a native beach grass to anchor it in place. Xrapped: hundreds of small birds in unused eel pots. According to Dennis Regan, a Sea Grant marine advisory agent on Roanoke Island, birds are en- tering the wire pots, which are often left stacked by a shed or near the docks, to eat scrap fish left in the bait wells. Once inside, many birds cannot escape, and die. Regan is asking eel fishermen to clean out their bait wells and to stack their eel pots so that pot entrances are not open to the birds. any North Caro- lina fishermen fish not only the offshore waters of our state, but also the waters off other states. So management deci- sions made in other areas affect our fishermen. That's why John Maiolo, an East Carolina University sociologist, was given Sea Grant mini- grant funds to study the impact of a New England sea scallop fishery management plan on North Carolina fishermen. The plan, proposed by the New England Fishery Management Coun- cil, would prevent fishermen from har- vesting sea scallops smaller than 30 meats per pound. The limitations may make the trip to New England un- profitable for North Carolina fisher- men,
