UNC System Coastal and Marine Science Activities Self-Study
North Carolina Sea Grant College Program (NCSG)
(NOTE: To more fully understand and appreciate the nature of NCSG within the UNC system,
readers/reviewers are encouraged to first read the last section (Section II, Item F-Other) of this Self-Study.)
I.
Overview
Please include at least the following, limiting the total Overview to a maximum of 3 pages:
 List the included coastal and marine science Activity and describe why it was included.
North Carolina Sea Grant College Program (NCSG) constitutes and carries forth the federally
designated (US Department of Commerce) and recognized Sea Grant mission for the entire UNC
system and the state of NC. The National Sea Grant College Program, established under 1966
federal law and reauthorized several times since that year, is a nationwide network
(administered through NOAA) of 33 university-based programs that work with coastal
communities. It engages this network of the nation’s top universities in conducting scientific
research, education, training, and extension projects designed to foster science-based decisions
about the use and conservation of marine and Great Lake resources.
 Discuss how the above Activity relates to the mission and strategic direction of the university.
NCSG relates directly to the UNC system’s mission of research, teaching and public service. It
sponsors competitively selected, peer-reviewed research proposed by faculty from any college
or university within or outside of the UNC system, including private institutions. It supports
teaching via financial support to graduate and at times undergraduate students engaged in Sea
Grant-supported research conducted by their faculty advisors, and also via informal educational
programs that enhance K-12 teacher understanding of marine science and its instructional
applications to improve ocean and scientific literacy. It conducts a coast-wide and coastal
community-based public outreach program through traditional and cutting-edge extension and
communications approaches and activities, designed to deliver the results from research to
users/stakeholders who can apply the findings to coastal resource problems and opportunities.
It also addresses major tenets of Goal #3 (Serve the People of NC) of the UNC system’s updated
strategic plan, including leveraging UNC expertise and resources, expanding applied and
transformational research, and providing support to Pre-K-12 teaching.
 Describe the impacts and future directions of the coastal and marine science Activity.
The impacts of NCSG on the coastal resources of NC and on the UNC system have been broad
and deep for decades, and promises to continue.
- Recent official reporting to NOAA on NCSG program impacts in 2010 and 2011 (most recent
reporting years) indicate that, despite a federal Sea Grant funding level ranked 14th among
33 Sea Grant programs, NCSG ranked 3rd in businesses/jobs created (12/67); 11th in accrued
economic benefits ($2.992M); 1st in the number of communities who adopted SGgenerated/delivered hazard resiliency practices (24); 7th in tools/technologies/information
services used by stakeholder organizations (34); 4th in numbers of seafood industry
stakeholders who modified fishing or fish handling practices (1280); 5th in peer-reviewed
journal articles (24); 2nd in communication products (69); 2nd in number of supported
bachelors and masters students gaining degrees (31); and 6th in public/professional
presentations (164).

NCSG currently sponsors over 82 research projects, with over 80% of them via funding to
faculty at UNC system institutions. These include 37 funded with federal monies, and 29
with state resources. In addition, since 2008, NCSG staff have received 26 research or
outreach grants from external sponsors.
Furthermore, NCSG has received national “Best Management Practice (BMP)” recognition
from the National Sea Grant Office for its minigrant program, which supports faculty in
engaging in low-cost and timely research efforts. Since 2008, NCSG has supported over 58
minigrant projects, the great majority of these going to UNC system faculty.
Since 1995, NCSG has managed the Fishery Resource Grant (FRG) Program for the NC
General Assembly. While legislative support for this program has declined sharply in the last
4 budget years, NCSG still manages over 27 FRG projects, the great majority of which are
cooperative research projects jointly engaging UNC system faculty and lay
scientists/stakeholders within the fishing industry. The 2012-13 FRG RfP was recently issued.
Since 2000, NCSG has managed the university’s Blue Crab & Shellfish Research Program
(BC&SRP). While the program has had to absorb Sea Grant’s full share of legislative cuts and
rescissions to the university over the last decade, NCSG still manages 12 BC&SRP projects.
Like FRG, the great majority of these projects are cooperative research projects jointly
engaging UNC system faculty and lay scientists/stakeholders. A major BC&SRP project
funded by NCSG in 2012 represented one of the very first grants (and the largest to date) to
the state’s new oyster research hatchery at UNCW. The 2012-13 BC&SRP RfP was recently
issued.
NCSG manages NOAA Fisheries Mid-Atlantic Marine Mammal By-Catch Reduction Research
Program. Funding to faculty in and outside of NC varied from $40K to $130K per year since
2005.
NCSG is a state and national leader in supporting student and graduate fellowships. In its
history, NCSG has facilitated and administered 60 Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships going to
recent NC university graduates. Since 2003, the program has co-funded (with NCDENR) 9
Marine Fisheries Fellows. Since 2007, NCSG has supported 9 maritime heritage graduate
fellowship projects jointly with ECU. Since 2004, NCSG has sponsored and employed 10
Science Communications Fellows. Lastly, in 2010, NCSG initiated a joint fellowship program
with NC Coastal Reserve/ NOAA-NERRS Reserve Program, which will have supported a total
of four graduate student projects by the end of 2012.
Through its combined research and outreach components, NCSG has generated significant
social, economic, resource management and policy impacts along the NC shore and across
the state. Five short examples include:
A. In 2006, a statewide symposium on working waterfronts and research inventory of
fish houses in NC led to a state law establishing a Waterfront Access Study Committee
(WASC) by the NC General Assembly. The law named the NCSG director as chair, and the
program was selected to staff the committee’s deliberations. Based on WASC
recommendations, in 2007 the General Assembly created a $20M Waterfront Industry
and Marine Industry Fund, which led to development of 13 multi-use working
waterfront/access sites along the shore, which leveraged more than an additional $20M
of matching funds from other state and local community sources .
B. With its sponsorship of NCSU research faculty and extension programming over the
last 15 years, NCSG has been the key sponsor in development of the state’s and nation’s
hybrid striped bass (HSB) aquaculture industry, estimated to have an economic impact
in recent years of over $10M annually in NC alone. Recent work has focused on
development of broodstock and wastewater disposal “best management practices” to
help meet state water quality standards. Development of this industry has helped to
reduce commercial harvesting pressure on wild marine striped bass stocks. Similar
support for NCSU and UNCW researchers and NCSG extension efforts involving the
commercial culture of southern flounder has led to the establishment of 5 fledgling
flounder aquacultural businesses (4 in NC and 1 in NH).
C. An NCSG minigrant initiated in 2008 by an UNCW-employed Sea Grant extension
specialist successfully demonstrated and provided proof of concept for “RecText” — a
cell-phone-based text-messaging system to report recreational catches. The findings
leveraged a follow-up project, funded by the N.C. Coastal Recreational Fishing License
revenues, for testing of RecText at N.C. king mackerel tournaments in 2009-10.
Recreational fishing harvest data collection systems based and modeled on RecText
have since been adopted by the State of Maryland to report crabber harvests, while
NOAA Fisheries officials are considering implementation of an adapted system to have
anglers report their bluefin tuna catch.
D. When state officials accepted NCSG Extension recommendations to establish windresistance mitigation credits on coastal insurance policies, the result was two-fold:
increased safety and lower premiums for property owners. In 2011, the NC Insurance
Commissioner began offering 5 to 24 percent credits on approximately 200,000 coastal
policies bearing premiums of around $300 million. Potential savings to NC coastal
property owners of at least $15M could ultimately ensue.
E. In 2009, a study of possible revisions to the state’s ocean policies conducted by
NCSG’s Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center (CRLPPC) as well as the
Center’s study of legal and regulatory barriers to wind energy development in NC
ultimately led to rule changes within the state’s coastal management program. To wit,
ocean-based wind energy turbine deployment was changed from a non-waterdependent impermissible use to a water-dependent permissible use (thus removing the
need for an approved variance). In addition, a reconsideration of the rule that
prohibited electrical energy transmission lines over ocean shoreline has been initiated.
Both of these changes could make clean wind energy development more feasible along
the NC shore.

Provide an organizational chart or other indication of reporting structure that captures the
relationship of each Activity within the university. If there are relationships with other
universities, please include them as well.
An organizational chart for NCSG is attached. Please note the following:
- the direct reporting line of the director and program to NCSU, where NCSG’s headquarters is
housed, and the indirect reporting line to UNC-GA given NCSG’s multi-campus, interinstitutional nature and mission.
- NCSG’s coastal extension staff employed through and located at UNCW/CMS, and also staff
employed through East Carolina University and co-located with the Coastal Studies Institute
(CSI) in Manteo.
- NCSG extension staff employed through NCSU and located both in Raleigh and at
NCSU/CMAST in Morehead City.
- A NCSG extension specialist located in Charleston, SC, in a bi-state climate extension
position cost-shared by NCSG, SC Sea Grant Consortium, and NOAA’s CISA (Carolina
Integrated Science and Assessment Program), which is centered at the University of South
Carolina in Columbia. All extension staff are hired, supervised and evaluated by NCSG’s
Extension Program Leader based at NCSU (the Charleston, SC-based position is jointly
supervised and evaluated).
II.
Coastal and Marine Science Activities
A. Activity: North Carolina Sea Grant College Program
B. Activity Narrative

Mission and history: The mission of NCSG is to enhance sustainable use, development and
conservation of ocean and coastal resources to benefit communities, economies and
ecosystems through integrated research and outreach efforts. To implement this mission, NCSG
manages federal, university, state, and external funds in sponsoring a competitive university
faculty research program and in conducting a public outreach program to inform and educate
coastal resource stakeholders.
After passage of the National Sea Grant College Program Act in 1966, initial Sea Grant
research, outreach, and organizational activities were spurred in the early 1970s by scientists
and administrators at NCSU, UNC-CH, ECU and UNCW, with informal involvement by Duke
University. In 1976, the University of North Carolina system was designated a full-fledged state
Sea Grant College by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Elliot Richardson and NOAA Administrator
Robert White and via a separate executive order of the N.C. Governor.
Throughout almost all of its history, NCSG has been a designated inter-institutional center of
the UNC system, with central administrative offices located at NCSU and coastal extension
offices located in the Wilmington (currently at UNCW), Morehead City (currently at
NCSU/CMAST) and Manteo areas (currently at CSI). From 1976-2006, direct reporting of NCSG
was to the Vice-President for Research at UNC-GA, with secondary reporting (on administrative
matters) to the Vice Chancellor for Research at NCSU. In 2007, NCSG’s direct vs. administrative
reporting line were melded, with the program subsequently reporting directly to NCSU and
receiving broad overview and limited budget oversight from UNC-GA. This remains as the
program’s current reporting relationship.
Over its formal 36 years, NCSG has been a remarkably stable and effective organization. It has
had only three permanent directors (a fourth will begin employ in December), and extension,
communications and support staff turnover has remained relatively low. At NCSU, the building
location for its administrative headquarters has only changed once over that time. Throughout
its history, NCSG has consistently been evaluated and judged by the National Sea Grant College
Program Office at NOAA as being among one of the best managed and most effective state Sea
Grant programs in the nation. In 2008, the program was recognized as 2007 Natural Resources
Agency of the Year by the N.C. Governor’s Conservation Achievement Awards Program.

Discuss what makes this Activity unique, competitive, compelling, and/or of strategic
importance:
- NCSG is the state’s federally designated Sea Grant college, receiving its federal Sea Grant
award on an annual and matching (50% state/non-federal funding) basis. Its research and
-
-
-
-
-

outreach programs are focused on wise use and conservation of the state’s entire shoreline
length and coastal resource base.
NCSG is unique in that it serves as a grant sponsor of competitive and peer-review-based
faculty research proposals, as a source of support to graduate and undergraduate students
working on that faculty research, and as a public educational outreach organization.
It conducts the state’s and university’s largest coastal outreach effort via the
employment/deployment of 13 extension professionals, 3 communicators, 4.5 support staff,
and 1 fellow, located in Raleigh and at three coastal locations (Manteo, Morehead City and
Wilmington). In delivering outreach efforts, NCSG maintains a strong working and partnering
relationship with NCSU’s Cooperative Extension Service. NCSG Extension’s Coastal
Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center (a joint NCSG and UNC-CH effort) is one of only 5
such Sea Grant law programs in the nation, and is unique in the state in its specific focus on
coastal legal and policy issues/implications.
As a multi-campus inter-institutional program of the UNC-GA, NCSG fosters and funds joint
research efforts between faculty at different campuses. As manager of not only its federal
own Sea Grant core and minigrant research programs, but also the university’s Blue Crab &
Shellfish Research Program, the NC General Assembly’s Fishery Resource Grant Program,
and NOAA Fisheries Mid-Atlantic By-Catch Reduction Research Program, NCSG is the most
active sponsor of marine-related research within the UNC system and the State of NC.
NCSG’s strong working relationships with sister state Sea Grant and regional programs in the
Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic regions (i.e., from New York to Florida) is of strategic
importance in advancing joint, multi-state university research efforts and partnerships.
NCSG’s research and outreach achievements in several topical areas (e.g, working
waterfront preservation protection policy; local seafood branding/marketing;
telecommunications applications in fish harvest collection; hybrid striped bass and flounder
culture; stream habitat restoration; ocean and wind energy development policy) have made
it a national leader and has affected/influenced coastal resource development in other
coastal states.
Identify the most significant impact(s) of the program on research, education, and/or society
(including direct contributions to policy or management decisions) since January 1, 2008:
In addition to impacts already presented in Section I, a further selection of three other
impactful NCSG activities since 2008 is offered below:
1. By 2006, with North Carolina’s coastal counties facing unprecedented rates of population
growth and land development and with ocean policies clearly needing reform to deal with
the fast pace of human activities, new coastal management perspectives from within and
outside the state were deemed critical to guide management and policy approaches. NCSG
funded program development grants to support the interaction of the university and state
policymakers via publications, information-sharing, dialogue at and participation in
meetings, workshops, symposia and committee work. A new UNCW professor (and former
National Sea Grant College Program director) led this effort.
By late 2008, this effort had led to 10 formal presentations (in NC, RI, MA, CA, CT, SC, HI,
OK, and PR), 4 publications, appointments to 3 state and national advisory boards and 2 task
teams, and 2 major reports. These activities addressed coastal issues such as natural
hazards, ecosystem-based management, sustainable fisheries, viable waterfront
development, integrated coastal-observing systems, marine aquaculture, regional or multistate cooperative planning and action agreements, and the goals, approaches and
teamwork needed for successful creation of an integrated coastal storm surge and
watershed flooding model (CI-FLOW).
Today, several examples can be cited as to how the project’s groundworking efforts
influenced substantive new coastal management/policy approaches, including:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Maturation and testing of the CI-FLOW model, using the Tar-Pamlico watershed in
N.C. as its experimental site (http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/ciflow). Engaged faculty at
UNC-CH lent significant expertise to CI-FLOW model development, as did the
National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, OK. CI-FLOW has now been tested
and utilized by the National Weather Service to help make and confirm surge and
flooding predictions associated with recent coastal storms impacting the NC coast,
including Hurricanes Irene and Sandy.
Designation in 2009 of the Tar-Pamlico watershed as a NOAA hydrometeorological
testbed (HTB) by NOAA’s HTB Unit (http://hmt.noaa.gov).
Agreement and accelerated movement by the governors’ offices in the states of NC,
SC, GA and FL to form the regional Governors’ South Atlantic Alliance in 2009, and
since then to issue its action and research plans
(http://www.southatlanticalliance.org).
Assistance to the National Sea Grant Safe and Sustainable Seafood Focus Team in
performance metrics development (2009).
Leading and staffing the development of a $14M proposal to the UNC System for a
N.C. Integrated Coastal Observing System in 2007. Faculty from UNC-CH, NCSU, ECU
and UNCW were jointly involved in this effort.
Further formal development (2005 to present) of NOAA in the Carolinas, a unique
affinity group of NOAA line offices and affiliated programs in NC and SC, focusing on
greater sharing of information, enhanced cooperation, and improved
communications on products and services to the public
(http://www.carolinas.noaa.gov).
2. N.C. shrimpers, along with others in the Southeast and Gulf regions, face stiff competition
from imported shrimp products that are sold at much lower prices. Domestic shrimpers also
face dramatically increasing production costs such as fuel, gear and labor. To help
fishermen adjust to foreign import competition, NCSG collaborated with the Trade
Adjustment Assistance, or TAA, program within USDA to provide training for approved
applicants to develop business plans and adjust business practices to be more effective in
the changing economic environment. The program also provides shrimpers cash payments
to implement the business plans and knowledge gained from the training program, which
has been available online and through scheduled meetings/workshops. The training
components include intensive technical assistance, initial business plan development and
long-term business adjustments.
Sea Grant programs in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida developed a three-hour,
Internet-based course titled Shrimp Marketing Opportunities, available online. In North
Carolina, the economic impact is spread over several years as the fishing businesses take the
NCSG training, and upon successful completion, move on to work with a business
consultant. In 2011-12 the training helped to retain about 99 businesses, which received
about $1.12 million, and retained about 161 jobs. Some completed the process within that
year. But most of those – about 65 businesses with 105 jobs — are on schedule to complete
the program in 2012-13. If so, they would receive another $761,000 to implement the final
stage of their plans. Partners include the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.
In summary, as part of continuing efforts to help shrimpers adjust to foreign import
competition, NCSG provided intensive technical assistance for N.C. shrimpers. Upon
completion of the multi-step, multi-year program, about 99 businesses will have received a
total of nearly $1.9 million to implement new procedures and business plans. The total
represents about 161 jobs retained. The training encouraged fishing families to include
consumer education regarding seasonality, health and quality factors related to N.C.
seafood, often using information developed by NCSG.
3. As state and federal officials look to strengthen science and math competencies, teachers
are looking for real-life lessons to keep students’ interest across varied disciplines. NOAA
has developed fundamental principles of Ocean Literacy, many of which relate to the NC
Standard Course of Study.
NCSG’s K-12 marine education programming focuses on ”teaching the teacher,” as means
to multiply its reach and impacts on students . As a partner in the NSF-supported Center for
Ocean Science Education Excellence – Southeast (COSEE_SE), NCSG has leveraged regional
efforts, including summer leadership institutes and daylong SEPORT workshops around the
state throughout the year.
NCSG’s marine educator also serves as a local leader in the Maury Project and DataStreme
courses of the American Meteorological Society, and links teachers and students to
phytoplankton monitoring programs, as well as competitions to design remotely operated
vehicles, resulting in state and national honors for the young scientists. Many more students
increase their appreciation for the coastal region and develop a lifetime sense of
environmental stewardship.
NCSG workshop participants reached nearly 10,000 students in 2009–2010. NCSG’s
educational efforts engage researchers (many being faculty within the UNC system) who
connect with teachers and students and use school class-collected data in blue crab and
oyster research projects. In 2009, NCSG was a founding partner in the Hatteras Connection
project that, among other activities, seeks to help students in this Outer Banks community
to understand the science behind the unique island/ocean ecosystems that provide their
home and families’ livelihoods.

Provide a description of the most significant challenges that will be faced by the Activity in the
next year, and in the next five years.
- Continuation of federal Sea Grant support at the national level, given the difficulties and
limitations wrought by the nation’s budget deficit and appropriations gridlock.
- Identification and/or development of new leadership within NCSG. The current director and
associate director will retire in December 2012, while the director of extension has a goal to
retire by 2017. In addition, the program’s only coastal engineering/processes extension
specialist is retirement eligible and could opt to do so by 2017. These real/potential
vacancies would represent a large loss in experienced management and extension expertise.
The new director will need to be oriented quickly in her new role, and to plan for/explore
staffing changes.
- NC General Assembly cuts to its Fishery Resource Grant Program and university cuts to the
Blue Crab & Shellfish Research Program, both managed by Sea Grant, will significantly
reduce the program’s capacity to initiate and fund small, highly applied, problem-solving,
cooperative research projects co-conducted by UNC system faculty. Beyond the adverse
-

impact on the state’s coastal fishery stakeholders and faculty research efforts and support,
such cuts would reduce the scope and proportion of the program’s sponsored research
portfolio, which could become an issue with federal monitors.
Developing new research-based information and ways to better inform and educate key
stakeholder groups, state decision-makers and the public will be a continuing challenge,
especially on such issues as:
* adaptation to a contracting and more heavily regulated/competitive fishery resource
and harvester workforce. New optional ways to sustainably harvest, market, and to
profitably remain in fish-related employ (e.g., via aquaculture) will need to be
explored, researched, demonstrated, and taught.
* the need for “no regrets” community-based planning for predicted sea-level rise,
especially in low-lying N.C. coastal waterfronts;
* the importance of developing/approving an enlightened Coastal Habitat Protection
Plan (CHPP) to ensure the sustainability of critical ecosystems and habitats for the
fuller societal benefit.
Include a succinct description of the future directions for, and sustainability of, the Activity in the
next year and in the next five years. Include modifications to personnel, programs, funding, or
major infrastructure.
- Presuming continuation of congressional appropriations for the National Sea Grant College
Program at the federal level, as well as state matching support, NCSG should continue to
carry forth its coastal research, education, and outreach mission within the university and
across the NC shoreline.
- A change to new leadership in the program is imminent. With the impending retirement of
the current director (Dr. Michael P. Voiland), Dr. Susan White will come aboard in December
2012. The program’s associate director (Dr. Steve. Rebach) will also retire in December
2012. How to organizationally refill, charge, and structure the associate director’s position
will need to be answered in 2013. The opportunity to share this administrative position with
WRRI will be given consideration.
- Since 2009, NCSG and WRRI have moved expeditiously to meld several positions. Beginning
with the director’s position in 2009, an administrative support position was shared in 2010,
as was the chief fiscal officer’s position in 2011. Possible ways to further joint sharing of
staff positions between NCSG and WRRI will likely continue to be considered. In addition to
potentially sharing the associate director’s position, NCSG law and policy extension
specialist has been encouraged to begin exploring the allocation of 10-15% of her time
toward WRRI/inland water resource matters.
- Impending resignation of a NCSG business/marina/tuna fisheries extension position located
at CMAST in Morehead City has prompted reconsideration of this position’s educational
focus area. Currently, a draft position description is being fashioned that would shift the
position’s efforts toward coastal community resiliency and preparedness, with focus on
weather and waterway navigation hazards, as well as sea level rise and other climate
change-associated planning at the local level.

NCSG, primarily through principal investigators/faculty advisors based at several UNC campuses,
currently supports a total of 109 students (50 undergraduate, 27 graduate, 32 post-docs). These
students participate, as research assistants, in research projects sponsored by NCSG. NCSG’s
provision of such support helps these students to further their education, to progress toward
their degrees, and to learn the research process associated with their marine field. It also
contributes to Sea Grant’s state and national educational mission.

* Provide a brief description of the Revenue table:
North Carolina Sea Grant was approved for level funding of its 2012-2014 omnibus awarded from
NOAA in the amount of $1,649,000 annually. These funds are used to administer all aspects of
the NC Sea Grant College program, including management, program development, extension,
communications and core research projects. State funds are provided from NC General Assembly,
via NC Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR), for the Fisheries Research Grant
Program. Funds sourced from the University include salary for the Director and an Administrative
Assistant, state funds for departmental operations, overhead return (F&A) funds per fiscal year,
required matching funds on the omnibus award from NOAA, and funds for the Blue Crab and
Shellfish Grant Program. Other revenue for NCSG come from externally offset state-imposed budget
cuts in recent years.

*Provide a brief description of the Expenses table. In the Physical Infrastructure section, include cost
for purchase/lease of land and cost of facility construction and on-going debt service:
Expenses listed in the personnel line are only for North Carolina State University Sea Grant
employees. Salaries and operating expenses for NCSG extension staff employed at ECU and UNCW
are expensed as subaward payments in the Other Direct Costs line on this chart. Programmatic
expenses include travel and contracted services for our NCSU employees. Maintenance and
operation expenses include supplies, current services, and fixed charges also only for NCSU
employees. NCSG does not expend any costs towards equipment, space, or other physical
infrastructure as detailed below. As with the subaward payments for staffing/maintaining our
extension units at ECU and UNCW, NCSG pays research project award invoices from other North
Carolina institutions.
3. Physical infrastructure
Describe the key physical infrastructure that supports your Activity. Include buildings, boats,
specialized equipment, land, core facilities, and any other unique capability. Include pending
infrastructure additions. Please indicate who owns the physical infrastructure and whether it is a
shared resource. If shared, by whom?
NCSG does not own nor rent any buildings, boats, specialized equipment, land or laboratory
facilities. Office space for staff at NCSU-Raleigh, ECU/ CSI-Manteo, NCSU/CMAST-Morehead City,
and UNCW/CMS is provided gratis to the program by partner campuses.
- At NCSU-Raleigh, offices are located within Module 1 the Varsity Research Building complex.
It is composed of 12 professional offices, and a kitchen area. Two additional storage areas
within the complex are provided. (NOTE: A move of theses NCSG offices from Module #1 to
Module#6 within the complex is planned by NCSU for 2013. This would place NCSG offices in
a location contiguous to WRRI offices, thus likely affording operational/supply/equipment
use efficiencies, as well as potentially advancing more collaborative professional activities
among NCSG and WRRI staff.)
- In Manteo, NCSG (2 offices, plus some storage space) is co-located with CSI staff at an older
downtown office building. NCSG will very soon move to the new state CSI building in
Manteo. Two offices have been offered for NCSG staff, and a third has been requested for
storage of educational gear, publications, and displays.
-
In Morehead City, NCSG (3 offices plus storage space) is located in the NCSU/CMAST
building. Use of the Seafood Lab there is available upon request and approval.
In Wilmington, NCSG (3 offices plus storage space) is located in the Center for Marine
Science (CMS) at UNCW.

CI-FLOW: The Coastal and Inland Flooding Observation and
Warning (CI-FLOW) project is a demonstration project that
predicts the combined effects of coastal and inland floods for
coastal North Carolina. The CI-FLOW computer model blends the
complex interactions between rainfall, river flows, waves, and
tide and storm surge models, and provides output on how they
will impact ocean and river water levels. This multi-institutional
effort began in 2000 and is being refined through cooperation
with NOAA Weather Service Weather Forecast Offices in North
Carolina. See: http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/ciflow/

STREAM RESTORATION: NCSG has had a key role in development
of indices for stream reclamation characterization. Applied
research and extension programming have helped to develop a
standardized method for characterizing streams and objectively
measuring the success of stream reclamation efforts. In
particular, the Rocky Branch stream reclamation project on the
NCSU campus serves as a living laboratory for research and
stream education for all ages.

HURRICANE-RESISTANT BUILDING PRACTICES: Working with the
N.C. Division of Coastal Management, the N.C. Dept. of Insurance
and FEMA, NCSG completed a study that showed that some
residential building pilings were not buried deeply enough to
provide structural integrity to the home. Using new technology
for measuring underground pilings developed through four years
of NCSG-funded research, the structures with sub-standard piling
were identified and retrofit. These building codes are now in use
by builders across the state. Rogers continues to work with
builders on options to build safer homes and businesses.
Also applied research on the corrosion rates of the sheet metal
connectors (hurricane clips) that hold beachfront building
together during storms was needed. NCSG funded nine years of
extensive testing and developed an improved product that could
better withstand the detrimental effects of corrosion on
buildings. This resulted in new and more stringent standards for
connectors based on the NCSG funded research.

VALUE-ADDED SEAFOOD PRODUCTS: With the goal of increasing
profitability and employment in the seafood industry while
producing healthy food products for consumers, NCSG has
funded research and extension programming in the value-added
seafood product market. One such example utilizes fibrinogen
from beef plasma to allow undersized sea scallops to be
combined into larger, more-marketable sized scallops. These
“scallop Medallions” are now being sold to food distributors and
food services, retail chains and grocery clubs throughout the U.S.
and Europe. In addition, NCSG researchers have developed
formulas and recipes for over 35 value-added seafood products
that enable the merchandise have longer shelf life and to better
appeal to consumers’ tastes and preferences.

FISHING GEAR UPDATES: Many of the earlier NCSG extension
projects focused on the improvements to commercial and
recreational fishing gear and procedures to reduce bycatch and
fuel costs, with increasing targeted catch and safety factors.
Examples include skimmer trawl adaptations for N.C. waters and
better turtle-excluder devices. Since the mid-1990s, dozens of
N.C. Fishery Resource Grant Program research projects have
identified gear changes that have been shared in the industry and
in some cases included in fishery management plans.

OYSTER REEF RESTORATION: In North Carolina, oyster reef
restoration is considered a key need in terms of habitat and
fisheries management and sustainability. NCSG has funded
research, including core projects and others funded through state
and federal programs, that has provided the groundwork for key
policy decisions regarding how and where to restore oyster reefs.
The research and restoration legacy continues through more than
$6 million in leveraged projects in recent years funded by NOAA
and National Science Foundation that were directly influenced
by/built upon NCSG research results.

HYBRID STRIPED BASS: About 16 gigabases (billion base pairs) of
microRNA (miRNA) sequence data were generated, which
represents a major contribution to the striped bass component
of the National Animal Genome Project (NRSP-8) as this novel
class of RNA has been found to play a major role in modulating
expression of genes important to a myriad of physiological
processes, including egg quality. Also ongoing work on the NCSU
domesticated strain of white bass broodstock developed for
commercial production of hybrid striped bass fingerlings. This
reflects 9 to 10 generations domesticated. Ongoing
development of a domesticated broodstock of white bass for
hybrid striped bass aquaculture reduces dependency on wild
stock coping with VHS. In addition, F5+ generations of striped
bass broodstock have been developed, and are currently being
used as male counterparts for hybridization by industry.

HYBRID STRIPED BASS: The N.C. and national hybrid striped bass
aquaculture industry has developed in large part as a result of
NCSG research and outreach to improve production in terms of
culture procedures, genetics, tanks systems, etc. The industry
now produces annual revenues in excess of $10 million per year
in North Carolina alone. N.C. growers who have participated in
research and demonstrations include Carolina Fisheries, Castle
Hayne Fisheries, Pungo Fisheries, Artesian Aquafarms and Austin
Brothers Fisheries. Recent genetic advances are cited above,
which are critical to broodstock development. Other recent
advances include diet improvements for broodstock to increase
reproductive performance, and for the grow-out process to
bring fish to market. Local farms that have adopted the NCSU
strain of domesticated white bass broodstock for production of
hybrid striped bass fingerlings have now been able to transit to
use of the cheaper and more readily available feed for their
broodstock. Also, NCSG research has provided
recommendations for improvements in effluent handling for
flounder and HSB aquaculture to maintain or improve water
quality in the region.

FLOUNDER AQUACULTURE: NCSG has been a leader in
development of the N.C. flounder aquaculture businesses. This
includes culture methods and grow-out process, as well as
technical set-up for tanks. Examples of recent impacts directly
related to NCSG research and demonstration projects include:
* Blue Ocean Farms LLC. Farm-gate value is estimated at
$60,000. (R/10-SSSS-1 and R/AF-50)
* Carolina Flounder LLC. Farm-gate value is estimated at
$50,000. (R/10-SSSS-1 and R/AF-50)
* Little River Trails Aquaculture LLC. Grower received embryos
from UNCW. LRTA raised about 75,000 fingerlings to sub-market
size at an estimated farm-gate value of $3 each = $225,000. If
fish are raised to market size, farm-gate value will be higher.
* Coastal Aquafarms. Owner now has Aquaculture Operations
Permit from NCDMF, and is in the process of establishing his
culture systems on site, so there is no fish production data for
2011.

LOCAL SEAFOOD: Most recent efforts included the creation of
North Carolina Catch. A count of 63 businesses retained just in
2011-12 includes the Catch groups – Carteret Catch, Brunswick
Catch, Outer Banks Catch and Ocracoke Fresh – along with an
estimated 25 percent of the total 237 businesses focusing on
local seafood by participating in these groups. In 2011, NC Catch
received funding provided by Saltwater Connections, a
community group that grew out of an NCSG research project.
NCSG was key in the development of all the Catch groups in
recent years and continues to provide outreach services. The
Saltwater Connections rural community development program is
a direct outgrowth of an earlier Sea Grant research project.
Efforts were slowed with Hurricane Irene in 2011, but a
community grants program was to be initiated in 2012 to
develop new ventures.

FLOOD INSURANCE: Annual savings of $1,300,000 estimated for
affected policyholders. NCSG was a key partner in developing
new flood maps for North Carolina.

WIND INSURANCE: Implementation of new program has been
slower than anticipated. Thus insurance policy premium savings
impact has been delayed. Most recent annual savings estimated
at $250,000, but that could grow.

DIRECT MARKETING FOR SEAFOOD: This includes Community
Supported Fisheries programs/businesses in N.C. as well as other
direct marketing businesses. A Fisheries Resource Grant Project
had originally established the CSF concept, which has spread
nationally and internationally. In North Carolina in 2011, there
were approximately, 2 businesses created, 3 businesses
retained, 8 jobs created.

SHRIMP TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE: NCSG delivered and
coordinated training for NC shrimpers approved for the federal
program. Shrimpers who completed the first step with NCSG
continue on for a second phase with a business plan. Numbers
for 2011-12 show $1,116,000 economic benefit, 99 businesses
retained, 161 jobs retained.

2011-2012
WATERFRONT ACCESS STUDY COMMITTEE: Working under a
tight timeline, NCSG led a diverse legislatively-appointed
Waterfront Access Study Committee to consider varied topics
related to waterfront access for various stakeholder groups. The
N.C. General Assembly acted upon several WASC
recommendations with policy and economic impacts. These
results include establishing a $20 million fund to retain working
waterfront and access development (13 sites were ultimately
funded); provisions for working waterfronts to fall under
deferred "present use value" state tax assessment; creation of a
continuing state-level waterfront access committee that includes
agency heads and the Sea Grant director; increased boat
registration fees to provide more funding for public recreational
boating access facilities; initiation of planning and/or
construction of 3 state fishing piers at Nags Head, Emerald Isle
and Carolina Beach (Nags Head Pier opened in May 2011).

The National Sea Grant College Program Dean John
A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, established in
1979, provides a unique educational experience to
students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and
Great Lakes resources and in the national policy
decisions affecting those resources. The program
matches highly qualified graduate students with
"hosts" in the legislative and executive branch of
government located in the Washington, D.C. area,
for a one year paid fellowship. The program is
named in honor of one of Sea Grant's founders,
former NOAA Administrator, John A. Knauss.
Carlozo, Duke
University
The Coastal Management Fellowship was established
in 1996 to provide on-the-job education and training
opportunities in coastal resource management and
policy for postgraduate students and to provide
project assistance to state coastal zone management
programs. The program matches postgraduate
students with state coastal zone programs to work
on projects proposed by the state and selected by
the fellowship sponsor, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services
Center. This two-year opportunity offers a
competitive salary, medical benefits, and travel and
relocation expense reimbursement.

Lindsay Glass, NC
State graduate
student working
with Jim Rice.
Puckett worked with Eggleston on oyster dispersal
and metapopulation dynamics in Pamlico Sound,
including settlement, survival and spawning
potential. The NCSG oyster studies were critical
background for a $5 million Recovery Act project to
restore oyster reefs in the Pamlico Sound. That grant
was received by the N.C. Coastal Federation and the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
Rocky Branch was a co-winner in the Natural
Resource Conservation category. Doll worked with
the NC State University Facilities Division and several
disciplines and support functions within the
university on the stream and greenway that runs a
mile through campus. The third phase of the project,
including "daylighting” a stretch, was completed last
year. It now serves as a living laboratory.
This award - from NC State University and the U.S.
Department of Education - recognizes the novel
application of biotechnology that. Glass was using in
her NCSG-funded dissertation research to resolve
the impacts of hypoxia on growth of juvenile fish.
F. Other
To a substantive degree, this self-study survey does not capture or categorize aspects and metrics
that would more appropriately measure the roles, effectiveness, reach, impact and achievements of
a program like NCSG.
As a designated multi-campus, inter-institutional program of the UNC system, NCSG’s purview
and accomplishments reach across campuses, especially, but not limited to, those having
concentrated aquatic-related disciplinary strength within, and outside of, the UNC system. NCSG is a
state-federal research sponsoring and public outreach partnership, established under federal law. It
is designed and charged to allocate federal (and, if available and appropriate, state) funds to
competitive, proposal-based, and peer-reviewed research to be conducted by any faculty in the
state of NC, and to carry out major public outreach efforts relating to the state’s coastal resource. It
is not charged or encouraged to support or conduct formal classroom teaching; rather, its teaching
mission is primarily advanced via the support the program lends to students working with major
professors on NCSG-supported research, and via extension outreach to K-12 teachers and their
students.
NCSG has no teaching or research faculty on staff; rather, it funds research projects of faculty at
various campuses who successfully compete for research dollars. It does employ
extension/outreach/administrative staff whose productivity is neither tracked nor measurable by
peer-reviewed publishing or classroom teaching activities.
Based and administered at NCSU, NCSG hires, manages, supervises, and evaluates professional and
administrative staff that are employed by both NCSU and also by two other UNC campuses (ECU and
UNCW), and are situated in coastal communities as well as in Raleigh. These staff, as well as one
staff person co-employed between NCSG and SC Sea Grant, conduct the state’s largest
coastal/marine outreach program (13 extension professionals, 3 communicators, 4.5 support staff,
and 1 fellow) focused on the state’s entire shoreline resource. This outreach program addresses
focus areas that include fisheries, coastal erosion & engineering, community development, seafood
processing and marketing, coastal law/planning/policy, water quality, aquaculture, and
weather/waterways hazard preparedness and resilience.
Further, while it may be commonplace for academic departments to differentiate between what
should appropriately be entered into Section II – D.2.b verses D.2.c, it is not an easy process for
NCSG to parse the difference (between workshops/instructional/non-credit courses verses public
service/outreach/community engagement). All of these interactions, engagements and activities are
part-and-parcel of NCSG’s comprehensive and formal outreach program, and as such, all we could
do is “do our best” in assigning our outreach activities to best fit the self-study’s categorizations.
Also, the survey did not specifically inquire as to how the marine science programs in the UNC
system work to bridge, augment, complement, and share marine science expertise via collaborative
action or initiatives. On NCSG’s part, much has been done, on an historical and on-going basis, to
advance collaboration with or among those campuses holding marine science capabilities. To wit:
- In its biennial calls for core research proposals, NCSG encourages the submission of joint
proposals among research faculty at different institutions, and frequently offers higher funding
levels for proposals involving faculty from more than one campus.
- When appropriate, NCSG has brought research faculty at different campuses together for
proposal development or data-sharing, either through funding workshops on proposal development
(e.g., a 2007 workshop that ultimately led to the EON Observing Platform proposal that was funded
by UNC-GA, as well as the NCICOS observing proposal to UNC-GA that was not funded), or by making
faculty aware of potential collaborators (especially in cases when separate investigator proposals
have been quite similar in nature and in peer-review evaluation).
- NCSG has offered and provided co-sponsorship of outreach, student, and professional society
activities occurring at different campuses (often at the request of marine science faculty there). Just
three examples would include N.C. Emergency Management - ECU’s annual hurricane conferences
since 2009, the annual American Fisheries Society-UNCW Student Chapter meeting, and a recent
Southeast regional, multi-university workshop on fisheries acoustics See
http://marine.fiu.edu/seac/southeastacousticsconsortiumreport2012_final_20121016.pdf).
- As an ex-officio member of UNC-GA’s Coastal and Marine Research Council (CMRC), NCSG
sponsored and funded a two-day strategic retreat of the CMRC, Duke University representatives,
and Council members’ invited guests on November 23-24, 2009. The purposes of the retreat were
(1) to discuss research-based implications of sea-level rise and climate change in North Carolina, (2)
to determine the mechanisms for optimal coordination among institutions in addressing research,
analysis, and other needed activities, and (3) to improve understanding of how the CMRC could
impact state-and local-level discussions and policy. In total, the retreat involved 21 individuals from
seven UNC entities and UNC General Administration, Duke University, and one participant from the
private sector. The retreat was held at Ft. Caswell Retreat Center at Oak Island, North Carolina.
