* Sustainability in Polynesian Island Cultures and Ecosystems (SPICE)*
SEA Semester takes
college<http://www.sea.edu/sea_news/fall_lecture_series#> students
to the South Pacific on an adventure with a purpose. On five islands,
from low-lying atolls to high volcanic isles, students look at the
relationship between people and their environments; and from the deck of
the Robert C. Seamans study the ocean that binds them
together. Incorporating cultural and historical data, the SPICE program is
documented in an on-line Atlas of Polynesia that is rapidly becoming an
important resource for a wider audience.
