Starting to Sea Change

This month, 11 students from across the country arrived at Bigelow Laboratory for the 2025 Sea Change Semester. This 14-week experience includes mentorship, research cruises, and ocean science coursework.

Their first few weeks in East Boothbay have been packed with orientation, meeting mentors, and going on their first research cruises aboard the R/V Bowditch.

Please welcome to the Bigelow community: Kaz, Spencer, Frances, Drew, and Thomas (back row, left to right) and Reagan, Ella, Brooke, Isabelle, Mallory, and Nicole (row row, left to right)!
