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.

One community, one harbor. The Alaska Clean Harbors program helps promote sustainable practices within Alaska’s harbors and minimize pollution within its waterways. Through a certification process, the program provides free technical assistance and tools to help harbor staff and boaters protect Alaska’s waters. This year Alaska Sea Grant State Fellow Biz Wallace is coordinating the voluntary program and working to expand it.

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.

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! #TakeoverTuesday #SeaGrant #Knauss #BIL #IRA #MarineScience #Seagrass #Ecology #ChesapeakeBay #CRW #MarineDebris #Fellowship #Fellow #Graduate #Opportunity

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.
