Joyce Taylor, Sea Grant's seafood agent at the NCSU Seafood Labora- tory in Morehead City, reports that seafood is not only high in protein, vitamins and minerals; it's also low in calories, fat and cholesterol. For example, an average portion of fish generally provides about half the recommended daily allowance of protein for adults. And shrimp con- tains about 20 percent protein—more. than in hamburger, sirloin steak or pork. The percentage of fat and calories found in most fish is low when com- pared to other meats. A 3i/2-ounce hamburger contains about 21 percent fat and 268 calories. The same portion of some fish may contain less than a percent of fat and only about 75 calories. (Values will differ for each species of fish.) Compared to other protein sources, fish contain small amounts of cholesterol and the saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease, says Taylor. Most fish contain healthy con- centrations of trace elements, minerals and amino acids. The N. C. National Estuarine Sanctuary is accepting proposals for federally funded research in the four components of the state's sanctuary system—Zeke's Island, Rachel Carson (Carrot Island, Bird Shoals), Currituck Banks and Masonboro Island. Awards will be made to pro- jects that enhance scientific un- derstanding of sanctuary ecosystems and provide information for coastal management decision makers. All proposals must be received by June 15. For a copy of the guidelines and the necessary forms, write: Sanctuary Analyst
