As a world-renowned hub of research and technology around seaweed and microalgae, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is proud to join colleagues, collaborators, and community members in celebrating the endless possibilities of algae.
Every day, our institution strives to empower entrepreneurs, support Maine’s strong aquaculture industry, and accelerate the translation of algae-based innovations to market. If you’re curious and want to learn more, stop by our booth at the Seaweed Saturday expo at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today!
Lastly: seaweed makes us smile. Just look at this group of beaming Bigelowians and friends holding up various types of macroalgae during our 2025 Open House in East Boothbay!
