Coastal films 

 available to groups 



"The Currituck Film," a 23-minute, 16- 

 mm color film documenting problems of 

 coastal development and one county's at- 

 tempt to deal with those problems, is avail- 

 able from the UNC Sea Grant Program, 

 1235 Burlington Labs, N.C. State Univer- 

 sity, Raleigh, N. C. 27607. 



Written and directed by Les Thornbury, 

 the film explores action taken by Currituck 

 County, North Carolina's northeastern- 

 most county, to manage pressures for de- 



Ivelopment so that unique natural resources 

 are not threatened. 

 "Waterbound — Our Changing Outer 

 Banks," a 16-mm color film describing geo- 

 logic processes acting on the state's Outer 

 Banks and man's attempts to deal with 

 those forces, is also available. 



Requests for the films should be sub- 

 mitted at least two weeks prior to the an- 

 ticipated viewing date and should include 

 dates preferred for showing. Sea Grant 

 asks that borrowers return the films in the 

 same condition as they are received within 

 three days of the showing and that return 

 postage be paid. 



Advisory agents are 

 eager to hear from you 



(Continued from page 1) 

 teamed up with the UNC Institute of Government 

 for three workshops for planners. 



Sea Grant advisory agents. What do they do and 

 how can you benefit from them? 



In simple terms, Sea Grant's advisory agents 

 are information carriers. Under their hats, they 

 carry facts, figures and know-how about a wide 

 range of marine and coastal problems. Their goal 

 is to get that information into the hands of people 

 who live and work in the coastal zone. Their hope 

 is that new knowledge put to use will help make 

 living standards higher. 



While much of their information comes from 

 work that university researchers do, advisory 

 agents also learn from coastal citizens and from 

 their own experiments done in cooperation with 

 those citizens. They might, for example, pitch in to 

 work with fishermen or seafood processors to work 

 out cheaper, easier and faster ways to do things. 

 But no matter where they get their knowhow, 

 advisory agents are available to share it with all 

 who might put it to work. 



Sea Grant's advisory services agents offer serv- 

 ices in a variety of areas. Several are devoted to 

 assisting the fishing community, others work with 

 seafood processors. Three are investigating the do's 

 and don't's of eel farming and making their find- 

 ings available to potential eel culture operations. 

 Two are working with government agencies which 

 deal with controlling insect pests. Another is avail- 

 able to assist local and state agencies involved in 

 land-use planning. Plans are that another advisory 

 agent, not yet named, will work with the coastal 

 recreation industry. 



The names, addresses and telephone numbers of 

 these agents are found on pages 2 and 3 of this 

 newsletter. If you think any of them could be of 

 assistance, they are eager to hear from you.
