The Changing Gulf of Maine: Challenges and Opportunities

On Thursday, August 12 at 4 p.m., join Deborah Bronk, president and CEO of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, for a presentation at the Wilson Museum‘s Hutchins Education Center.

The Gulf of Maine is changing in many ways: warming, changing color, becoming more acidic, accumulating microplastics, and seeing an increase in harmful algal blooms. These changes create challenges for the sustainable use of its resources but also opportunities to better understand and protect this important natural resource.

The event is co-sponsored by the Wilson Museum and the Blue Hill Heritage Trust. For more information, contact the Wilson Museum at 207-326-9247.
