Louis Daniel, DMF scientist, was elected chairman of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC). The ASMFC coordinates management of migratory species for in-state waters from Maine to Florida. Pate sees a need to re-examine how states participate in the Manne Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey, Manne Fisheries Service, also known as NOAA-Fisheries.

"Ourgoal is to ensure that our research and outreach projects are meeting identified needs here in North ; The updated plan will consider goals of the parent funding agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The North Carolina plan also is expected to reflect a reorganization of the National Sea Grant College Program's strategic plan, which was released last summer. "Eleven Sea Grant thematic areas have been identified as critical areas of focus for sustainable resource management in the next decade," the national plan states. The theme areas are: • Aquaculture • Biotechnology • Coastal Communities and
