Welcome
The Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank comprise one of the world’s most productive areas in the global ocean, but they have been impacted by intense human use. The purpose of our program is to document patterns of biodiversity and related processes in the Gulf of Maine in order to contribute to the development of Ecosystem Approaches to Management (EAM) in the region.
