This is perhaps the most important part of the Sea Grant Week 2005 Web site, because here you'll find invaluable hints on how to act and sound like a Mainer—so no one will know you're from away!

Maine is famous for its long (over 4,000 miles) and rugged coastline. Sandy beaches and marshes in southern Maine give way to jagged peninsulas and islands of the midcoast and steep rocky cliffs and bays of eastern Maine. But there is more to Maine than just coastline, in fact the majority of the land area lies outside of the coastal zone and 90 percent of the land area in Maine is forest, more than any other state. Sea Grant Week will be held in Camden-Rockport, an area which offers a great launch site for exploring both coastal and inland Maine. But before we tell you more about the area where you'll be, we thought you'd want to know where the famous people have been.

So hit the video store, study up, and know your scenery!
