Mini-grant funds have been award- 

 ed to John Maiolo, an East Carolina 

 University sociologist, to develop a 

 methodology to measure the growth 

 and impact of recreational populations 

 in five coastal counties: Hyde, Dare, 

 Carteret, New Hanover and 

 Brunswick. Information learned from 

 the study will be useful to managers 

 who allocate resources such as water 

 supplies and recreational areas. 



Maiolo will also take a hard look at 

 how the housing growth that results 

 from increased tourism affects shellfish 

 closings.
