Sea State Series
Thriving in a Warmer World
While the Gulf of Maine is warming faster than many of the world’s oceans, its productivity is driven by a unique combination of factors beyond its temperature — global currents, the shape of the ocean floor, and more — that create a dynamic and resilient environment. This complexity could be the key to its ability to withstand climate change. Similarly, the coastal communities along its shores have demonstrated remarkable resilience, adapting to change and overcoming challenges with determination. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute, alongside our partners, is committed to building resilience for both the ecosystem and the people who call it home. This fall’s Joan M. Kelly Sea State series will explore our efforts to foster resilience and share reasons for optimism about the Gulf of Maine's future and the communities that rely on it.
Our Focus:
- Providing the public with opportunities to have conversations with a wide range of experts from different fields.
- Keeping our communities engaged with and informed about the Gulf of Maine.
