Coastal and marine geographers work in a variety of marvelous settings
on a diversity of research topics, and have unique experiences and
documentation of those studies. The exceptional quality of many of our
colleague's slides at the 1997 annual meeting of the AAG inspired Wayne
Engstrom (California State University, Fullerton) and Joann Mossa
(University of Florida, Gainesville) to begin a slide compilation project for and
from our membership. By 1998 the compilation project had received three
slide sets and was at a stand still.
Richard Daniels (Department of Ecology, Olympia, Washington) was appointed the
primary contact for the project in 1998 and the concept of the project changed from
collecting and publishing individual slide sets, to collecting, scanning, and
publishing several slide sets on a single CDROM. These changes were made to reduce the
cost of publishing individual slide sets, take advantage of currently available scanning
technologies, and to increase the long-term viability of the final product.
If successful, it is anticipated that this CDROM
will be of great benefit to current and future teachers in the
profession and has the potential for providing additional operating funds to our
specialty group.

What is the AAG?
The Association of American Geographers (AAG) is a scientific and
educational society founded in 1904. Its 7,000 members share
interests in the theory, methods, and practice of geography, which
they cultivate through the AAG's Annual Meeting, two scholarly
journals (the Annals of the Association of American Geographers and
The Professional Geographer), the monthly AAG Newsletter, and the
activities of its nine Regional Divisions and 49 Specialty Groups.
The AAG conducts educational and research projects that further its
interests and programs.

What is the Coastal & Marine Specialty Group (COMA)
AAG Specialty Groups are voluntary associations of AAG members who
share interests in regions or topics. COMA was formed to encourage the
intellectual exchange of knowledge related to coastal and marine
environments and resources between geographers and other professionals
(e.g., coastal engineers). The group actively works to keep its members involved
through the bi-annual publication of its newsletter, Coastal Letters,
and through its annual business meeting that is held concurrently with the AAG
annual meeting.
