Sea Grant is furthering sustainable production of U.S. seafood with $8.8 million in funding for 33 aquaculture projects! 🐟🦪🌿

“Supporting sustainable, domestic seafood production, through aquaculture, is a key component to a thriving, blue economy across the U.S.,” said Jonathan Pennock, director of NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program. “Sea Grant will continue to work alongside communities to gather and share aquaculture-related knowledge that helps the industry and the environment.”

Read about the projects that will enhance aquaculture production, capacity and knowledge sharing across coastal and Great Lakes communities: bit.ly/SG-FY24-AQ

The commercial fishing industry faces a shortage of qualified workers and an aging workforce. To combat this problem know as the “Graying of the Fleet,” South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium has launched the Commercial Seafood Apprenticeship Program. 

The program’s class of 2024 recently underwent hands-on training including safety training, seamanship, oyster harvesting, basic vessel maintenance, gear design and repair. Read Hailey Murphy’s account of their journey to learn more: scseagrant.org/revitalizing-the-fleet

PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are a group of human-made chemicals that are widespread, long-lasting, and in some cases, toxic. They can be found in common household products, like nonstick pans, carpets, cosmetics, and fast-food packaging. Researchers in the Chesapeake Bay are investigating how PFAS change as they move through the environment and where they end up. Learn more: bit.ly/PFAS-Problem

I’m Lauren Alvaro, Sea Grant’s Knauss Fellow working as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act Engagement Specialist.

I grew up in South Florida and loved snorkeling on coral reefs as a kid. 🤿🌊 My love for the ocean and science led me to major in marine science at Florida Gulf Coast University. After interning in a benthic ecology lab and dabbling in biogeochemistry at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, I went on to earn my master’s degree in marine science from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at William and Mary.

During grad school, I studied seagrass ecology and worked on seagrass restoration projects. My research investigated how shifts in dominant seagrass species affect animal communities in the lower Chesapeake Bay. I identified over 40,000 marine bugs and 2,000 fish for this research. 🔬🦐🐟

In my Knauss position, I engage with community partners to address issues related to marine debris, building a climate-ready workforce and other topics. I develop engagement strategies for grantees, create communication products and plan events like Sea Grant’s 2024 Marine Debris Symposium. Learn more about the upcoming symposium here: bit.ly/MD-Symposium 

I’m excited to continue this meaningful work throughout my fellowship year and am very thankful for this great experience. There is so much amazing work being done by Knauss Fellows this year. Be sure to follow us on our journeys as we grow together!

Science 🤝 Community 

The residents of King Salmon, a coastal community in California, regularly experience flooding due to sea-level rise. A @CASeaGrant -funded study found that community members are already creating their own strategies to deal with the changes.

These findings underline the importance of engaging with local communities for creating effective climate adaptation strategies, as it helps uncover valuable, often overlooked knowledge about local conditions and needs.

@scseagrant's Marine Debris: From Micro to Macro educator workshop is devoted to exploring marine debris, specifically plastics and microplastics.

Through hands-on activities, field-based excursions, presentations, and group discussions, participants will explore topics such as the physical properties of plastics, the formation and impacts of microplastics, research on current and emerging issues, and stewardship opportunities.

Participants will have the chance to assist in the creation of a brand-new marine debris education kit and curriculum that will be piloted during the 2024-2025 school year.

This two-night, three-day workshop is offered free of charge to any K-12 formal or nonformal educator. Most meals and lodging will be provided free of charge at the cottages and dorms at Hobcaw Barony in Georgetown, S.C. Participants will be eligible for 15 renewal credits.

All workshop slots have currently been filled, but a waitlist is available. Please reach out to E.V. Bell, Marine Education Specialist, at mailto:elizabeth.bell@scseagrant.org to join the waitlist.
