Climate Center
Over the course of the last decade, our scientists have led a body of research that identified the Gulf of Maine as one of the world’s fastest-warming ocean ecosystems.
Our new interdisciplinary climate center focuses on solutions to local, regional, and global challenges related to ocean warming. This new virtual center will leverage the Gulf of Maine Research Institute's unique mix of science, education, and community expertise to provide forward-looking leadership.
Our focus is on identifying climate solutions, including
- Helping fishermen identify climate-resilient fishing strategies for the future.
- Preparing communities for sea level rise.
- Driving climate-ready fisheries management.
- Educating the next generation of ocean stewards.
