Promoting Cooperation to Maintain and Enhance
Environmental Quality in the Gulf of Maine

The Global Programme of Action Coalition for the Gulf of Maine has published a 25 page booklet and teaching tool designed for use in grades six through ten. 50 Ways to Save the Gulf of Maine is a colorful and lively look at the Gulf of Maine; its great water cycle, abundant marine life and as a destination for millions of tourists and nature lovers. "Its waters are so rich and productive that it has been called a 'garden in the sea,'" writes Jon Percy, the booklet's author. The publication details the Gulf's water recycling process and such threats to its viability as sewage, lawn fertilizers, persistent organic pollutants and stormwater runoff. The final section lists 50 worthwhile ways to take action, learn about the watershed and teach others how to protect the Gulf.
