For more than 30 years, Sea Grant has emphasized solid, peer-reviewed scientific research that can be applied to the real- world problems and issues facing North Carolina's coast, says Steve Rebach, North Carolina Sea Grant's associate director. "Sea Grant's research not only enhances the sustainable use and conservation of ocean and coastal resources, but also benefits communities and economies," he adds COAST LEFT: To improve oyster restoration efforts, a team of Sea Grant researchers from UNCW will study successful reefs. RIGHT: CraigSullivan ofNC State plans to study the hybrid striped bass genome. AQUACULTURE Among new aquaculture projects, researchers will examine pressing questions about hybrid striped bass, one of the state's most commercially valuable aquaculture species. Researchers Russell Borski and Craig Sullivan of North Carolina State University will use new methods to study the hybrid striped bass genome, as well as the organism's structure and function of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original UNC Sea Grant College Program.
