ne-ocean-planToday’s a great day for our nation’s oceans! The National Ocean Council has certified the Northeast Ocean Plan, and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Plan. Congratulations and thanks to all who made this work possible, particularly in the Gulf of Maine region.

Now let’s get to work. University of Maine marine scientists and students, including those based at UMaine’s Darling Marine Center, are ready to help!
