Postponed until Fall 2026, Stay tuned–Science & Stories: Climate Change in the Gulf of Maine

Postponed until Fall 2026, Stay tuned.

Join us for our new program series, Science & Stories, which will include special programs that bring our community together to share stories and information about marine and coastal science topics, as well as local history. These programs will feature a presentation by a guest speaker followed by a Q&A session where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions.

Our institutional partners at The Conservation Law Foundation, have spearheaded significant discussions on climate change in the Gulf of Maine. Their presentation and discussion will highlight their decades-long efforts at Cashes Ledge, a biodiverse underwater mountain range located approximately 90 miles off the New England coast, along with its recognition as a Hope Spot – special marine areas deemed critical to ocean health – and its nomination and potential designation as a National Marine Sanctuary.

This program-lecture series is reserved for adults. Please reach out with questions.
