Maine Sea Grant has been sharing knowledge of Maine’s marine ecology and economy since 1974, when Sea Grant began issuing a series of “Information Leaflets.” In 1981, Kathleen (Lignell) Ellis was hired as Maine Sea Grant’s first communications coordinator, and she was later joined by graphic artist Majo Keleshian and writer and outreach specialist Susan White. Over the years, Maine Sea Grant has produced videos (The Cultured Clam), recipe collections (A Lobster in Every Pot), books (Life between the Tides, A Coastal Companion), calendars, and numerous outreach publications to communicate technical information to a non-scientific audience and promote ocean literacy.
