Sea State
Turning the Tide
This fall, we invite you to join our experts and key collaborators in this work to explore our four new strategic initiatives. From adapting fisheries and seafood systems to thrive in a changing climate, to building climate-ready communities along our coast, GMRI and our community of partners are leading efforts to secure a sustainable, resilient future for this region and worldwide. Explore how we’re developing the blue economy and strengthening working waterfronts to support coastal livelihoods, while also advancing innovative energy solutions to power the Gulf of Maine region forward. Discover the science, stories, and strategies behind these transformative efforts in an inspiring lineup for this fall’s Sea State Series.
