This sourcebook is one of several supplementary materials for a 16-week newspaper course about oceans. Program ideas and sources of related resources compiled in this sourcebook are designed to help civic and group leaders and educators plan educational community programs based on the course topics. Section one describes ways in which the multidisciplinary program is useful in community and academic programs. Section two, Resources for Educational Community Programs, suggests background reading in specific periodicals and books, and discussion questions for each of the six course units. Section three provides a guide to additional resources such as films, speakers, and publications from ten federal agencies, 23 private organizations, and 50 state agencies and interest groups. These include the National Sea Grant Program, National Geographic Society, and the Oceanic Education Foundation. Section four comprises an annotated bibliography of 84 films on sea-related topics including pollution, exploration, ancient sea stories, and political controversies. Names and addresses of nine organizations for concerned citizens to join are presented in section five. (Author/AV)
