| NEW INVASIVE JELLYFISH EXHIBIT NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher |
| Visitors to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher this summer will find a new exhibit in the Exotic Aquatics Gallery. Aquarium staff has added white-spotted jellyfish (Phyllorhiza punctata) to its collection. The Exotic Aquatics Gallery traditionally features non-native marine species. Guests can learn more about the life cycle of a jellyfish while viewing these beautiful animals.
The white-spotted jellyfish species looks almost exactly as its name suggests; they appear blue-gray in color, and white spots adorn the top of their prominent bell. Although native to Australia, this particular species of jellyfish has become invasive in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the Atlantic Ocean near the Cape Fear coast. While they usually grow to between 17 and 19 inches in diameter, the largest white-spotted jellyfish on record, found on Sunset Beach, N.C., in 2007, measured 28 inches.
This exhibit furthers the Aquarium's objective to educate the public on the importance of well-balanced ecosystems. Invasive species can easily disrupt that balance by cutting off resources to other species, changing the chemical makeup of the water, and ultimately causing a shift in the entire food web. This affects every aspect of the way humans enjoy the ocean, from seafood cultivation to a simple day at the beach.
NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher is located just south of Kure Beach, near the mouth of the Cape Fear River, on US 421. The site is less than a mile from the Fort Fisher ferry terminal. Hours: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day). Admission: $8 adults ages 13-61; $7 seniors 62+; $6 ages 3-12. Free admission for: children under 2; registered groups of N.C. school children, and NC Aquarium Society members. Generalinformation: www.ncaquariums.com

| Local Surfer in World Surfing Games Tony Silvagni representing the U.S. |
|
Silvagni won a copper medal in 2009, which helped Team USA win the gold that year. Growing up with our local waves, Tony said there's more to this competition than just a few big breaks.
"You're getting on a plane, you're flying a long distance, you're getting used to their culture and their food," explained Silvagni. "So, I guess it's just a balance that you have to have. You want to be that person that can do it all."
The World Surfing Games end July 3, so Tony said it would be great to come home and celebrate the July 4th holiday with a gold medal.
Area surf instructor Tony Silvagni will represent the United States this week at the World Surfing Games in Panama. Silvagni will join seven other surfers Thursday for the week-long event. He will compete in the long board competition against 31 other countries.

Everyone seems to have an opinion on where home prices are headed. Housing bulls are saying prices may start rebounding as early as later this year. Some housing bears are saying that prices may still drop another 10-15%. What actually is going to happen? No one knows for sure.
