An array of new publications are 

 filling the shelves of Sea Grant's 

 publication warehouse. Below are the 

 descriptions of our new offerings. 



New Aquatic Primer 

 Makes a Splash 



The Big Sweep Education Commit- 

 tee is making waves in primary educa- 

 tion. Splish Splash: A Big Sweep 

 Aquatic Primer is hot off the presses 

 and making its way into school systems 

 statewide. 



The sequel to Ripples: A Big Sweep 

 Elementary Activity Guide, a booklet 

 geared toward the 9- to 1 1 -year-old, 

 Splish Splash aims its message at 

 younger children. Designed for children 

 in kindergarten through second grade, it 

 is packed with activities about recy- 

 cling, animal entanglement, plastics and 

 other throwaways, and waterway 

 cleanups. It includes word finds, stories, 

 songs, puzzles, relay games and finger 

 puppets. 



The 44-page booklet is designed for 

 use by a teacher or group leader, with 

 worksheets than can be photocopied for 

 the children. 



The manual's cover features a 

 colorful aquatic jungle, reproduced 

 from a marker and watercolor drawing 

 created by a young Cary artist. Amy 

 Thorpe, 11, drew the picture while a 

 fifth-grader at Morrisville Elementary. 



Publication of the booklet was 

 funded by the N.C. Wildlife Resources 

 Commission, the N.C. Wildlife Federa- 

 tion and the Greensboro Jaycees. 



If you would like a copy for your 

 child's teacher or if you are a teacher or 

 group leader — in a formal or non- 

 formal setting — write for a free copy 

 of Splish Splash. Please enclose $1 per 

 booklet for postage and handling. Make 

 check or money order payable to Sea 

 Grant.

Riparian Rights 



Living on North Carolina's coastal 

 rivers and sounds can offer many 

 amenities — a pleasant view and easy 

 access to the water — but which of 

 these waterfront amenities are legally 

 protected rights? 



Walter Clark, coastal law specialist 

 for UNC Sea Grant, has authored a 

 guide for riparian landowners entitled 

 From Land to Water: The Waterfront 

 Property Owner's Right of Access to 

 Navigable Water. The four-page 

 Blueprint explains the legal rights of 

 riparian landowners and the restrictions 

 to safeguard the environment and 

 private shellfish leases. 



Clark says questions about riparian 

 rights are arising more frequently as 

 competition heightens for waterfront 

 property and the use of adjacent public 

 waters and submerged lands. It is 

 becoming increasingly important for 

 these landowners to know and under- 

 stand their riparian rights, he says. 



Just ask for From Land to Water. 

 It's free. 



Handling 

 Seafood Wastes 



Last fall, scientists from across the 

 country gathered in Raleigh for the 1991 

 Seafood Environmental Summit 

 organized by David Green, Sea Grant's 

 seafood industry specialist. 



The summit focused on environmen- 

 tal quality, pollution prevention and 

 waste reduction in processing fishery 

 products. Scientists and resource 

 managers exchanged ideas about how 

 the seafood processing industry could 

 better handle its wastes and byproducts 

 in the face of stricter enforcement of 

 environmental regulations. 



Now, the papers presented at that 

 summit have been compiled into the 

 Proceedings of the 1991 Seafood 

 Environmental Summit and are available 

 from Sea Grant for $15. Ask for UNC- 

 SG-92-06.
