Our Common Heritage: Gulf of Maine, Volume 1 - Winter/Spring 1995. Gulf of Maine Council of the Marine Environment

Prior to Spring 1995, the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment has responded to pollution threats in the Gulf through a wide spectrum of programs and projects, including activities such as the completion of an initial inventory of land based sources of pollution in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, establishing and maintaining a Gulf-wide monitoring program, and initiating a marine debris recovery program now beginning its third year. This list just begins to outline the work of the Gulf of Maine Council ... and it just begins to touch upon its possibilities. This resource "Our Common Heritage" attempts to initiate a system that provides the Gulf of Maine region with updates to the Council’s accomplishments and objectives. This resource has articles such as: ‘Annual Report 1993-1994’ (GOM Council), ‘Mapping Marine Debris,’ ‘Perspectives on the Sea,’ and ‘Ecology for Beginners.’ The aim of this journal is to increase awareness and educate about Gulf of Maine issues. This is Volume #1.
