And, like other North Carolinians, you are probably heading to the beach to enjoy the three S's -- sun, surf and seafood. You can count on the first two, but what about the third, seafood? A good seafood harvest is not automatic, says Todd Llewellyn of the Office of Coastal Manage ment, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. "It depends on a clean environment and a little luck, as well as the fisherman's skill," said Llewellyn. Llewellyn described the tricky path from the coastal waters to the dining room table. The path starts in the estuary -- the natural net work of rivers, creeks and sounds where salt and fresh waters mix. The estuary is the natural seafood "factory" from which almost all commercially important species come. The wetlands and shallow waters of the estuary provide food and shelter for shrimp, flounder and other species as they grow to maturity. In this aquatic "pasture," fish and other organisms "graze" on plants and each other. Unpolluted waters give fish and smaller organisms a healthful place to live and grow. Marsh grasses Area Students provide their basic food - decayed matter called detritus. In North Carolina, two laws -the Dredge and Fill act and the Coastal Area Management Act -are aimed at protecting the wetlands and the waters so that fishing will continue to be good and seafood plentiful. "It is important to protect this natural factory," said Llewellyn," because it is an essential part of the environment. In addition, com mercial seafood and sport fishing are big businesses in North Carolina." Commercial dockside harvests netted fishermen $70 million last year. These dollars were recycled several times through local businesses for equipment, gasoline, housing and food. Sport fishing brings an additional $200 million to the communities and businesses along the coast. "Even when man does everything necessary to protect our wetlands and waters, natural variables can affect the harvest," said Llewellyn. "Rainfall volumes and temperature changes can reduce the catch. "It's still too early to say just how good this year's seafood harvest will be, but the estuary has done its job. It has bred another generation of seafood for our tables." To Attend Co-op Washington Trip Three high school students from the Lumbee River EMC service area have been selected to go to Washington, D.C. as part of the National Rural Youth Tour, June 11-17. The trip is sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Two sophomore high school students have also been selected to attend the 1983 North Carolina Cooperative Council's Youth Camp at White Lake, N.C. The purpose of the Washington, D.C. trip is for students to see our government in action, visiting with congressmen, senators, and tour ing the capitol area. Trips are plan ned to the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and Arlington National Cemetery. Chosen to attend the Washington, D.C. trip are Ann Woods, Rt. 1, Pembroke; Andrea Shaw, Rt. 3, Raeford; and Jeffrey Johnson, Parkton. The purpose of the Cooperative Youth Camp at White Lake, is to teach young people how cooperatives of all types function in their lives. It is also a time for these young people to meet and ex change ideas with other students from across North Carolina. Craig McMillian of Rt. 1, Shan non, and Tommy Chavis, of Rt. 1 , St. Pauls, were selected to repre sent Lumbee River EMC at the co op camp. The students were selected in an essay competition titled, "If I were a government official, the power source I would promote would be..." >
