The UNC Sea Grant Program has a 

 new address. We have not changed 

 locations, but because of changes in 

 mailing procedures at North Carolina 

 State University our address and zip 

 code have changed. Our new mailing 

 address is: UNC Sea Grant College 

 Program, 105 1911 Building, North

Last month we reported that Jim 

 Bahen was experimenting with a 

 shrimp trap. Bahen received many 

 calls from folks wanting to purchase a 

 trap. But hold the calls because Bahen 

 is advising people to delay their 

 purchases until more information 

 about the traps is available. Regula- 

 tions governing the use of the traps are 

 unclear and the Division of Marine 

 Fisheries (DMF) will be working with 

 Bahen to study the traps. Later DMF 

 will be developing a new set of regula- 

 tions. Watch the Back Page for more 

 information about the shrimp traps. 



Larry Giardina, Sea Grant's marine 

 advisory agent at Bogue Banks, left 

 the Sea Grant Program in November 

 to return to the west coast. Giardina, 

 who specialized in business and 

 marketing, had been with the pro- 

 gram for two years.
