Gulf of Maine Council. Conference Proceedings of an ARGO-Maine Workshop. Date Unknown!!

At the time of this conference, the Gulf of Maine was, and still is, one of the Maine's most important resources, but not many people knew as much about it as they should have. ARGO-Maine consortium had been formed 4 years prior to the conference in an effort to try and bring to bear the resources of the varied marine research institutions in the State of Maine. The most significant accomplishment completed in the preliminary stage was to obtain a research vessel from the National Science Foundation in competition with other states. That particular 80-foot vessel was based at the Maine Maritime Academy and provided an excellent platform for research in the Gulf of Maine. The purpose of this conference was to bring together those people who were interested in this problem: what did they have out there and what could they do to protect it? What did they have to know to manage it?
