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.
