Orbach and Green are examining 

 stone and bone tools, pottery pieces, 

 arrowheads and food remains from an 

 area along the Chowan River, which 

 they believe to be the Algonkian 

 village Chowanoke. Next year they 

 plan to locate the village of Pomeiooc, 

 which artist John White (governor of 

 the Lost Colony) depicted near Lake 

 Mattamuskeet on one of his maps. 



Lise Knelson is one of 

 14 students from across 

 the country who has 

 been awarded a Sea 

 Grant internship in 

 Washington, D.C., next 

 year. Knelson, the 1983 

 recipient of the North Carolina Sea 

 Grant Marine Policy Fellowship, will 

 serve with a House or Senate commit- 

 tee in Congress. 



Knelson is a zoology graduate from 

 the University of North Carolina in 

 Chapel Hill and a graduate student at 

 East Carolina University in sociology. 

 Her graduate work emphasizes marine 

 policy. 



Sea Grant Director B.J. Copeland 

 and Bill Queen, coordinator of Sea 

 Grant's estuarine studies, are the prin- 

 cipal investigators in a project for the 

 National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

 Administration's Sanctuaries Program 

 Division. Copeland and Queen will be 



developing priorities for research in the 

 nation's estuarine sanctuaries. 



The investigators will assemble a 

 team of the nation's outstanding es- 

 tuarine researchers to help them devise 

 approaches for relating management 

 issues to research requirements. 

 Among the goals of the project is to en- 

 courage the use of estuarine 

 sanctuaries for research sites. 



In 1983, nearly 60,000 

 pairs of waterbirds 

 nested along North 

 Carolina's coast. Over 75 

 percent of those birds 

 made their homes on 

 man-made dredge-spoil 

 islands. But the number of sites 

 suitable for the birds is declining while 

 the size of the colonies is increasing. 

 With such large concentrations of 

 birds in a small number of sites, 

 biologists fear a single catastrophic 

 event, such as an epidemic, could mean 

 disaster for a large percentage of birds. 



Using Sea Grant mini-grant funds, 

 James Parnell, an ornithologist at the 

 University of North Carolina at 

 Wilmington, will develop a com- 

 prehensive management plan for the 

 colonial waterbirds in the state's 

 coastal zone. Parnell will outline the 

 management needs of each species and 

 identify techniques for population 

 monitoring and for maintaining ap- 

 propriate habitats for each species. 



North Carolina's seafood industry 

 cooked up some good business in 

 Raleigh Oct. 30 and 31. That's when 

 Gary Van Housen, UNC Sea Grant's 

 regional marine specialist, participated 

 in Foodservice Frontiers '84, an expo 

 for the institutional food service 

 market. 



For the two-day event, Van Housen 

 exhibited seafood and handed out 

 pamphlets, recipes and advice on using 

 North Carolina's fish products. While 

 onlookers gazed at fresh snapper, 

 scallops, oysters and a live soft shell 

 crab, Van Housen answered their ques- 

 tions about seafood and the Sea Grant 

 Program. 



He said he hoped to promote seafood 

 among the institutional buyers at the 

 expo, and to help people learn more 

 about seafood.
