A , \ Fishing for a New Catch 

 I wl ' I premiered on the Universi- 

 Ijl^^,, J ty of North Carolina Center 

 t£^^>2y for Public Television in July. 



\~ Now the 30-minute docu- 



mentary on underutilized 



species is available for loan or purchase 

 from the Sea Grant office. 



The video was produced by Sea Grant, 

 the National Marine Fisheries Service and 

 North Carolina State University's Depart- 

 ment of Agricultural Communications. It's 

 aimed at saltwater sportfishermen in the 

 Southeast. 



NMFS estimates that recreational fisher- 

 men discard as much as 60 percent of the 

 fish they catch because they don't con- 

 sider them table fare. Fishing for a New 

 Catch introduces sportsmen to some of 

 those less-favored fish and explains how to 

 handle and clean them. 



Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service Di- 

 rector Jim Murray recommends the video 

 for sportfishing clubs. It's available for loan 

 or for sale at $12. To reserve your copy, 

 contact Murray at 919/737-2454. 



The South Carolina Department of 

 Parks, Recreation and tourism has pro- 



duced a guide to the beaches in that state. 



South Carolina Public Beach and 

 Coastal Access Guide provides a com- 

 prehensive listing of public and commer- 

 cial outdoor recreational areas along the 

 coast. And it lists activities and facilities 

 available in each coastal county.

 Division of Engineering and Planning, SC.

You'll notice a new byline flying beneath 

 the headlines of our Coastwatch stories. 



It's that of Calvin Edgerton. He joined 

 the Sea Grant communications staff in 

 December, replacing Nancy Davis. Edger- 

 ton comes to Sea Grant from The 

 Smithfield Herald, where he was Feature 

 Page editor. 



Edgerton is also an excellent photog- 

 rapher. He recently had two photographs 

 published in The Big Click, a four-color 

 coffee-table book that captures a day's 

 events in North Carolina. 



For Sarah Friday Peters there will be no 

 more writing about erosion rates, fishing 

 gear and trash cleanups. After five years 



with the Sea Grant communications staff, 

 Peters is leaving to take a job with The 

 News and Observer.
