Media Outlets Cite UMaine Participation in Ocean Expedition

The BloombergBusinessweek website carried an Associated Press article about UMaine researchers who are joining scientists from state agencies and nonprofits for five days at sea to map the ocean floor in an 800-square-mile, 300-foot-deep area, 15 miles off the Maine coast. The information is intended to aid in managing shipping, fishing, aquaculture and energy development. Maine Public Broadcasting Network also carried a report, as did the Portland Press Herald.
