Acknowledgements

On behalf of the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance and our NOAA partners, I would like to thank the dedicated team of EaSiE project teachers. You became one of the most motivated professional learning communities I have ever encountered, and I thank you for your enthusiasm and generosity.

I want to acknowledge my colleagues at the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance who provided content and administrative support, particularly Page Keeley, MMSA Senior Science Program Director, CTS Principal Investigator, and Co-PI of the EaSiE project. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Francis Eberle, original Principal Investigator of the project, and Henrietta List, who initiated the original work on the proposal.

Sincere thanks to our NOAA partners. We have developed some terrific collaborative relationships, and I look forward to continued conversations with Dr. Paul Dest and Suzanne Eder, Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, ME; Dr. Cameron Wake, University of New Hampshire Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space and AIRMAP; Perrin Chick, Seacoast Science Center, NH; Dr. Ru Morrison, Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems; National Weather Service, Gray ME; Great Bay NH National Estuarine Research Reserve; Maine Sea Grant; Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence – Ocean Systems, ME; and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, MA.
