Greetings!

Just in time for the upcoming summer season, Sea Grant has a limited
supply of the following publications available at no charge:

"Rip Currents: Don't Panic"
Brochures are available that describe what a rip current is, how to
identify one, and what to do if you find yourself caught in one.

"Get a Grip on Ocean Motion"
A brochure for the prevention and treating of seasickness.

"Lightning and Boats"
This booklet describes a protection system that directs lightning
strikes safely through boats with less chance of damage or injury.

"These Dunes Aren't Made for Walking"
Suitable for outdoor displays, these 11" x 14" coated posters describe
the importance of dunes as a first line of defense against ocean waves
and encourage beachgoers not to trample the dunes.

If you're interested in receiving any of these items, please contact
WHOI Sea Grant at (508) 289-2398 or seagrant@whoi.edu.

Have a great summer!
