                     An Introduction to Coastlinks


Maine's nonprofit organizations, associations, and state agencies are
working on an impressive array of projects in marine research, coastal
conservation, marine education, maritime historical preservation, and
marine trades. But all too often, word of these projects doesn't reach the
public, or even people working in related fields.

Coastlinks is intended to help all of us better understand who is doing
what in Maine's coastal organizations. The listings here reflect responses
made to questionnaires sent out by our office in the spring of 1994. For
most entries, information is provided on the organization's goals, its
current marine projects or programs, and its available resources (e.g.,
publications, audiovisual materials, equipment, or consultants). For
organizations that did not respond to the questionnaire, only the name
and address are listed.

Coastlinks is designed to be "user-friendly." The Table of Contents lists
the general subject areas into which the guide has been divided. There
are also cross-referenced indices that you may use to look up
organizations alphabetically or by geographic region. The final index lists
organizations that offer educational resources.

At the end of Coastlinks is a sheet that you can fill out to let us know
what changes you would like to see in future editions of this guide. There
are undoubtedly some organizations that we have neglected to include:
we apologize for the oversight but ask that you write us so we will be sure
to include these groups in the next edition.
