Bright, Sarah. The Wild Gulf Almanac. The Chewonki Foundation. 1995. 168 pp.

The purpose of the Wild Gulf Almanac is to give the Gulf of Maine region the visibility it merits as an extraordinary global ecosystem, to put information about the Gulf in the hands of educators, and to put people who live and work on its shores in touch with one another to help protect and restore its natural abundance. This first issue of the Wild Gulf Almanac only begins the process; it is the first volume-of what was hoped would become an accessible, up-to-date guide for people who want to learn more about the Gulf of Maine and how they can affect its future. The first chapter discusses materials that help to introduce the watershed concept and environmental education in general. Following chapters focus primarily on terrestrial, freshwater, estuarine, and coastal and marine systems. The last chapter describes several resources, activities, and materials dealing within the effects of human actions on natural systems in the watershed. As is the case with natural systems themselves, the materials discussed in the Almanac inevitably overlap and are always subject to change.
