=Welcome to the Basgo Project Wikispace!= You have come to the place to learn about the environmental impact of human interaction with an estuarine ecosystem.

Three groups of 7th grade consultants are advising the town planners of Basgo, Maine as they begin to plan for development in the town.Click here to read the letter to the seventh grade from the Town of Basgo Planners. Click here for the map. All students used the same source from the Global Programme of Action, Coalition for the Gulf of Maine to start their work, **//50 Ways to Save the Gulf of Maine// (2000)//,// Jon Percy, Sea Pen Communications, Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia.**

//When reading the contributions made by students in each section, please note that each section deals with a separate issues and is independent of work done by the other two sections of students. There are presentations that repeat work done by other students.//
