“Identifying Nearshore and Estuarine Coastal Shark Habitats in North Carolina Waters”
Science on the Sound Lecture Series: “Identifying Nearshore and Estuarine Coastal Shark Habitats in North Carolina Waters”
This program was broadcast live on April 21, 2015.
Join us for an evening presentation from Chuck Bangley, PhD candidate in the Coastal Resource Management Program at East Carolina University.
As apex predators, sharks can have a profound influence on the local food web, and are both indicators and promoters of ecosystem health. The goal of Mr. Bangley’s research is to identify the environmental and behavioral factors that influence habitat selection and use by coastal sharks in North Carolina waters, which will help define their role in the ecosystem that gives the state such productive fisheries. Using a combination of telemetry, fishery-independent surveys, local ecological knowledge, and geospatial analysis, Mr. Bangley hopes to be able to delineate essential habitat for these important predators and predict how habitat choice by sharks may be influenced by environmental changes.

Ecology You Can Eat: North Carolina's Estuarine Fisheries with Dr. Joel Fodrie
In case you missed it or want to watch it again, you're in luck! Dr. Joel Fodrie brings us the second event in our Triangle Sound Series with Ecology You Can Eat: North Carolina's Estuarine Fisheries.
North Carolina’s estuaries include mosaics of marsh, seagrass, oyster and mudflat habitats that support a diverse assemblage of more than 100 fish species. These fishes come in nearly all shapes, colors and sizes, with fascinating and complex life histories, and many are recreationally and/or commercially prized. In this Science Café, we will highlight some of these cool fishes – many of which seem very exotic even though they are actually quite common members of our estuarine communities, perhaps increasingly so in the case of tropical species. Some you might recognize from the dinner plate, but wouldn’t immediately identify in their juvenile form(s) that occupy our estuaries. More broadly, the nursery habitat requirements, foraging ecology and migration patterns of these fishes will be discussed. This event is part of the Triangle Sound Series hosted by the Museum and the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership.
Joel Fodrie is an Assistant Professor of fisheries ecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Joel earned his Ph.D. from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 2006. Having grown up in Beaufort, North Carolina, he maintains a deep interest in coastal resource issues. He has contributed 42 peer-reviewed articles and manuscripts (in PNAS, BioScience, Ecology, L&O, etc.) that explore the population connectivity, food-web ecology, habitat use and long-term variability of fishery species.

Visiting a Sea Turtle Hospital
Oceana supporter Lauren Norman visits a sea turtle hospital in Florida to learn more about different species of sea turtles and the dangers they face. She also learns about Turtle Excluder Devices, or TEDs, which offer turtles an escape route from fishing trawls.

HURRICANE FLORENCE - WikiVidi Documentary
Hurricane Florence was a powerful and long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that caused catastrophic damage in the Carolinas in September 2018, primarily as a result of freshwater flooding. Florence dropped a maximum total of 35.93 in of rain in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, becoming the wettest tropical cyclone recorded in the Carolinas, and also the eighth-wettest overall in the contiguous United States. The sixth named storm, third hurricane, and the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Florence originated from a strong tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa on August 30, 2018. Steady organization resulted in the formation of a tropical depression on the next day near Cape Verde. Progressing along a steady west-northwest trajectory, the system acquired tropical storm strength on September 1, and fluctuated in strength for several days over open ocean. An unexpected bout of rapid intensification ensued on September 4–5, culminating with Florence be...
