N.C. Sea Grant Highlights North Carolina's Amazing Coast

North Carolina Sea Grant proudly announces the release of a new book that highlights our state's coastal ecosystems. North Carolina’s Amazing Coast: Natural Wonders from Alligators to Zoeas is now available in bookstores and from the University of Georgia Press.

This beautifully illustrated book is a partnership between the North Carolina and Georgia Sea Grant programs. Terri Kirby Hathaway, N.C. Sea Grant marine education specialist (and a longtime N.C. Certified Environmental Educator!) and Kathleen Angione, a writer and former N.C. Sea Grant Coastwatch senior editor, teamed with Georgia Sea Grant writers David Bryant and George Davidson and illustrator Charlotte Ingram on the project.

Terri will be working with classroom teachers to develop lesson plans based on the book and she and other authors will be touring the state at various book signings this summer. For more information, visit www.ncseagrant.org/s/AmazingCoast
