Sustainability in Polynesian Island Cultures and Ecosystems (SPICE) 
SEA Semester takes college 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. 

Find gifts at SEA's holiday store too - all for a good cause! Mary is donating 20% of the sales of her books to the SEA Scholarship Fund. T wo new releases are featured: The Wonder Chamber, the final book in the Lizzie Manning Mystery Series, and A Most Remarkable Enterprise: Lectures on the Northwest Trade by Captain William Sturgis.
