Carolina, other states and Europe con- 

 sistently have shown that artificial 

 seaweed is ineffective in controlling 

 wave-induced shoreline erosion. 



Spencer Rogers, Sea Grant's coastal 

 engineer, examines this alternative in a 

 new puhlication, Artificial Seaweed for 

 Shoreline Erosion Control? 



In it, he addresses the development, 

 experiments, problems and im- 

 provements of artificial seaweed in the 

 past 25 years.

The Florida Sea Grant College Pro- 

 gram has produced a two-part videotape 

 about yellowfin tuna. Part I describes 

 fishing methods and gear for yellowfin 

 tuna. It illustrates the construction, 

 deployment and retrieval of mid-water 



longline gear used to harvest yellowfin 

 tuna. 



Part II describes on-board handling 

 and grading for yellowfin tuna, including 

 killing, cleaning, chilling and icing the 

 catch.

There was something fishy about the 

 pasta served at a fleet-blessing celebra- 

 tion in Georgia this summer. 



Instead of the traditional pasta found 

 in macaroni salad, visitors were sur- 

 prised to learn that they were eating 

 surimi. 



Yao-wen Huang, a Georgia Sea Grant 

 researcher, concocted the macaroni out 

 of menhaden surimi produced by Zapata 



Haynie's Reedville, Va., pilot plant. 



Huang's dish got good reviews. Reita 

 Rivers of Georgia Sea Grant has par- 

 ticipated in several taste tests of the new 

 product. She says it has no fishy flavor 

 and a texture very similar to the real 

 thing. 



Huang plans to test market the fish 

 pasta in ethnic areas in Atlanta.
