Aug. 16—Paul Hosier on the effect of off-road vehicles on the beach environment; Aug. 23—Marie Louise Peterson on wildflowers of the Outer Banks; Aug. 30—Glen Eure on folklore of the Outer Banks. Remember the self-cleaning oyster? Well, he tidies up even faster in warm weather. The Back Page reported earlier that Mark Sobsey, a Sea Grant researcher, was relaying oysters from polluted waters to clean waters in the North River near Morehead City. In winter months his tests showed that con- taminated oysters eliminated per- cent of the viral contaminants in their systems by the end of a four-week period. In experiments conducted in March and April when water temperatures were between 59°F and 68°F in the North River, Sobsey found that oysters flushed percent of the con- taminants from their bodies in three days. Those are our shrimp! They grew up in our rivers," say Louisian- ians. "But they're in my waters now,'' say Texans. Whose shrimp are they and who con- trols the fishing rights to them? Those are the sort of questions state and federal representatives from across the country will discuss in Raleigh, Oct. 29. through 31, at a conference on state and interstate fishery jurisdiction and management. The conference is a cooperative ef- fort of the UNC Sea Grant College Program, the national Sea Grant office in Washington, , the Coastal Plains Center for Marine Develop- ment Services, the Marine Science Council, the Department of Administration's Office of Marine Affairs and the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. North Carolina Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. is supporting the conference. For further information, write John T. Pittman, Office of Marine Affairs, 116 Street, Raleigh, 27611.
