UnC Sea Grant has just published a 

 new listing of all of its popular book- 

 lets, brochures and pamphlets. Al- 

 though the titles (How to Build a Crab 

 Pot or Building and Stabilizing Coastal 

 Dunes with Vegetation) have yet to 

 appear on the New York Times Best- 

 seller List, they are publications that 

 can help you work, play and live better 

 in coastal North Carolina. 



From seafood selection to hurricane 

 preparation. Sea Grant offers the pub- 

 lic a variety of free or modestly priced 

 publications on coastal topics. For a 

 copy of this publications brochure,

A new Public Broad- 

 casting Service televi- 

 sion series will explore 

 the history of our AYi bil- 

 lion-year-old planet 

 Earth. The seven-part 

 series, Planet Earth, will 

 premiere Jan. 22, at 9 p.m. EST. Visit 

 an erupting volcano, dive to the bot- 

 tom of the Atlantic aboard a submersi- 

 ble craft, hop aboard the space shuttle, 

 and take a voyage to other planets. 



The one-hour programs reveal sci- 

 entific insights and discoveries of the 

 past two decades. Internationally 

 known scientists share their theories 

 about the formation of the earth, its 

 oceans and climate, and the universe 

 beyond. 



Planet Earth was produced by 

 WQED/Pittsburg, renowned for its 

 National Geographic series, in cooper- 

 ation with the National Academy of 

 Sciences. 



Gary Van Housen, a Sea Grant 

 marine advisory agent at Bogue Banks, 

 is leading a series of seminars across 

 the state for seafood retailers. Upcom- 



ing sessions will be held in the Greens- 

 boro/Winston-Salem area and in the 

 Charlotte area. 



Van Housen says the seminars have 

 something for everyone from seafood 

 counter clerks to meat department 

 personnel who handle seafood. He and 

 a panel of instructors will cover topics 

 such as advertising and promotion, 

 quality in seafood, nutritional value of 

 seafood, purchasing guidelines, demo- 

 graphics, and management of a retail 

 market. For more information, contact 

 Van Housen at 919/247-4007.
