Join Us for Walk the Working Waterfront

Come celebrate the people, businesses, and infrastructure that power Casco Bay’s ocean economy at Walk the Working Waterfront in Portland!

Enjoy behind-the-scenes access to Portland’s vibrant working waterfront. Tour active vessels, explore real fishing gear, and engage with fishermen through hands-on exhibits and interactive activities.

At the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, we're celebrating 20 years on the waterfront! Stop by to meet our experts and dive into topics like aquaculture, coastal and marine economics, sustainable seafood, and more. Try your hand at a virtual trap-sorting activity in the Cohen Center for Interactive Learning, or get an up-close look at one of our research vessels—there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
