Highland Cove Centre for Canadian-American Cultural Communications Welcomes Gulf Of Maine Expedition Mayoral Welcome, Fall Family Day and School Presentations September 14-16 For Immediate Release Yarmouth has a busy commercial port, an active fishery and a wealth of tourist activities, making this an ideal location for the Gulf Of Maine Expedition mission and a visit by the Team. This also happens to be Dan and Sue's home port! All of the Gulf Of Maine Expedition's events are fortuitously scheduled in this, the International Year of Ecotourism. Team leader and Maine Sea Grant Extension Agent Natalie Springuel, Science and Technology Coordinator Richard MacDonald, Tom Teller and Canadian team members Dan Earle and Sue Hutchins will all be available to discuss their journey, findings and mission. Partners for the event include Highland Cove Centre for Canadian-American Cultural Communications, Th'Yarc, Meadowfields School and Maple Grove Education Center. The Gulf Of Maine Expedition was organized to raise awareness and caring about the ecology and culture of the Gulf of Maine. The team hopes to hear your concerns regarding the health of the Gulf and will be available personally for discussions. Their records will capture a snapshot of the Gulf as it is today, and provide a unique perspective for monitoring in the future. They are eager to share information, observations and scientific results they have gathered along the way. Their website, www.gomexpedition.org, is updated several times a week to provide an evolving virtual documentary with an active route map, images from the Gulf, observations, and journal entries. The Gulf of Maine Expedition was made possible by the generous financial support of Maine Sea Grant, Maine Coastal Program, Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment, and the New England Biolabs Foundation. Additional equipment and financial support has come from Necky Kayaks, Kokatat, University of Maine Cooperative Extension, and many other businesses and individuals. This is the second to the last stop of the Gulf Of Maine Expedition before they complete their journey on Cape Sable Island. Come join the celebration at Highland Cove Centre for Canadian -American Cultural Communication in Yarmouth County! For more information, please visit www.gomexpedition.org.
