The Beachcomber's guide can survive the toughest waves and the long summer days - it's almost indestructible thanks to YUPO synthetic paper. Tracey Crago, a communicator for the Sea Grant Program at WHOI was thrilled with the smooth texture and beautiful printing done on Yupo. "YUPO offered the exact qualities we'd been looking for-it's durable, lightweight, waterproof, recyclable, and, when printed, the colors looked amazing. I don't know of any other material that would have given us such great results," says Crago.
