This bibliography was first published as a result of a cooperative education effort of the nation’s Sea Grant programs and the staff of The Living Seas pavilion presented by United Tech- nologies at EPCOT Center in Orlando, Florida. A compilation of the textbooks, curricula materials and other marine education resource materials developed by individual Sea Grant programs, the original publication was intended for use with the education program of The Living Seas and in the EPCOT Outreach/Teacher’s Center. This cooperative effort was a natural out- growth of the intersecting missions of Sea Grant, The Living Seas and the EPCOT Outreach/ Teacher’s Center. When Congress established the National Sea Grant College Program in 1966, Sea Grant was given the mission of promoting the understanding and wise use of our oceans and Great Lakes through research, education and public service. The materials included in this bibliography are evidence of Sea Grant’s meeting that Congressional mandate for formal and public education. The Marine Education Bibliography has proven useful to a wide range of educators, and demand has far exceeded supply. This fourth printing ensures that the bibliography is again available as a tool for teachers and other individuals interested in helping students explore and understand our oceans and Great Lakes. The materials outlined in this bibliography are available from the Sea Grant program or institution that developed them. Entries include ordering instructions and information about materials available free or at nominal cost. Table of Contents

Women in Marine Science: Good Girls Don’t? Lee Anne Campbell. 6 pp. Free. Though women have succeeded in breaking into many previously male-dominated fields in recent years, it is still unusual to find them in science and technology careers; women now earn only 16 percent of the doctorates in physical sciences, 10 percent in computer science, and 7 percent in engineering. This article, which originally appeared in the Fall 1990 issue of Nor'easter magazine, describes some of the specific tri- als faced by women in science, as well as the changes taking place in attitudes and institutions. The article also stresses the need for recruiting more women to the sciences. The personal stories presented here illustrate the wide variety of marine science careers that exist and the uniqueness of the women who pursue them.
