Description of Work

Knowledge Skills and Abilities/Management Preferences

Agency: Environmental Quality

Division: Marine Fisheries

Job Duties:  Assist with various North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries independent and dependent sampling programs, collecting data essential to assessing finfish stocks and in the development of North Carolina fishery management plans.

Major Task to be Performed:  Fishery independent experience includes trawling for juvenile finfish, fishing gill nets for adult finfish and fishing long line
gear for adult red drum from various locations within the Outer Banks estuaries in North Carolina including the Pamlico, Roanoke, and Croatan Sounds. Along with collecting biological and environmental information from fishery independent programs, the intern will also assist with our finfish tagging program where they will get to tag species such as red drum, speckled trout, striped bass, and southern flounder. Fishery dependent sampling experience includes dock side sampling of commercially harvested finfish and blue crabs from a variety of fishing gear such as gill nets, pound nets, and pots which are primarily used throughout the Outer Banks estuaries during the summer season. This type of sampling not only involves the collection of biological data but also gear information by interviewing commercial fishermen.

Final Product or Outcome Anticipated:  Experience a broad range of fish sampling gear techniques typically used in the collection of fisheries information for the management of fisheries resources. Skills learned are invaluable introductory experiences for those individuals interested in a fisheries science career.
