The summer edition of Fish Eye News introduces readers to a man who researches the social and economic aspects of fisheries. The newsletter also takes a look at one of North Carolina’s money-making fisheries – shrimp – and reviews the Marine Fisheries Commission’s advisory committee system. Fish Eye News is a Web-based newsletter issued four times a year by the DMF Public Affairs Section. A link can be found on the division’s Web site at http://www.ncdmf.net/fisheye/2009/JULY_fisheye.html. The intent of Fish Eye News is to draw attention to issues affecting marine fisheries in North Carolina and to promote a better understanding of agency functions. Publications may reprint articles in whole or part. For more information, contact Patricia Smith, the division’s public information officer, at (252) 808-8025 or [email protected]. |
