While at the Maine Boatbuilders Show this spring I asked David Platt of the Island Institute if they had, indeed, published the results of the newer GIS surveys of the coast's length. He said that they had, and that the latest surveys put it at near 7,000 miles (but don't quote me on this!). The man responsible for the surveys is someone at the College of the Atlantic. David didn't know his name, but said you could reach him by asking for the "GIS guy." Hopefully Dann is off the hook now. Curtis Rindlaub [Report message to a moderator]
