A gift to the Compass Fund is an investment in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem and the human community that depends upon it. Through the fusion of science, education and community initiatives, we work to balance the stewardship and use of the region's ocean resources, promote stakeholder involvement in sound decision-making, increase the science aspirations of Maine students, and catalyze innovative and sustainable opportunities for a robust 21^st Century marine economy. The Compass Fund will support the essence of what makes GMRI unique and highly effective - our strategic focus and our entrepreneurial spirit.

GMRI's Leadership Circle recognizes the visionary supporters who have contributed to the GMRI Compass Fund at $1,000 or more annually.
