Pound nets set in the sounds near Roanoke Island usually catch cat- fish, striped bass and shad, but this summer, one pound net will be catching people. Set up as a new exhibit at the Marine Resources Center on Roanoke Island, a 24-square-foot pound net has been hung so folks can walk into the net to see how it's made and how it works. Along with the net will be pictures and descriptions telling its history, how it's built and what it catches. Set up by Dale Martin and Hughes Tillet, the pound net is part of a larger exhibit funded by Sea Grant and the Office of Marine Affairs. The exhibit will ex- plain the importance of net fishing in North Carolina. Coastal Indians once shopped the marshes and swamps for seasonal wild plants that few people think of as edible: poke leaves, cattails, salt wort and prickly pear cactus. These were also some of the wild plants on the bill of fare during Wild Foods Weekend, held at the Marine Resources Center at Ft. Fisher, June 13, 14 and 15. Wild foods experts taught partici- pants how to identify, pick, prepare and eat some of the wild, edible foods found along the North Carolina coast. Sea Grant agent Jim Bahen showed one group of foragers how to catch a. meal from the sea, while Bob Hines, the Sea Grant agent at Bogue Banks, taught participants how to catch, clean and prepare eels.
