It identifies construction choices in new buildings, existing building modifications and insurance rating options that can reduce the annual cost of flood insurance. With the assistance of an insurance agent, the guidelines should help a pro- spective builder, existing owner or designer to optimize the building for the lowest desirable flood insurance premium. The booklet was written by Sea Grant coastal engineer Spencer Rogers. For your copy, send $1 to UNC Sea Grant, Box 8605, NCSU, Raleigh, 27695, and ask for publication number UNC-SG-89-05. Next June, Tar Heel science teachers will have two opportunities to learn first-hand about the state's estuarine environment. Approximately 15 teachers are needed to serve as trainers-facilitators for Project Estuary. A facilitator institute June 24-28 will examine characteristics of estuaries, activities to teach coastal ecology and field experiences for students. Participants will go birdwatching, seining for fish, hiking in maritime forests and travel aboard the Duke Marine Lab re- search vessel to Carrot Island and Cape Lookout. Another June program, "Paddle to the Sea," will provide in-service training to 20 science teachers from a target area includ- ing Tyrrell, Hyde, Dare and Washington counties. Selected participants will examine the Albemarle Sound watershed and study coastal education materials. They'll canoe on Lake Phelps and the Scuppernong River and survey Oregon Inlet from a head boat. For more information about "Paddle to the Sea," call Lundie Spence, Sea Grant's marine education specialist, at 919/737- 2454. Or request an application from UNC Sea Grant, Bo
