The Gulf of Maine. Peter Townsend, Peter Larsen. February 1992. 135 pp. Proceedings of the seminar held May 22, 1989.

This document includes a set of papers delivered at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Estuary-of-the-month seminar in May of 1989 that address a number of aspects concerning the Gulf of Maine. Although it is not possible to be comprehensive, these proceedings should provide an overview of the 1989 setting of the Gulf of Maine and convey a sense for the dramatic and rapid natural and human-induced changes that the Gulf had experienced and will continue to experience. Underlying each paper is the concept that the Gulf of Maine is a very productive and discrete ecosystem which makes it an ideal laboratory for the study of many physical, geological, ecological and even sociological processes important on local, regional and global scales. This resource includes the eight papers prepared for the conference along with the introductory comments of Congressman Joseph E. Brennan. The conference was sponsored by NOAA and the Association for Research on the Gulf of Maine (ARGO-Maine).
