UMM marine biology program introduces three new concentrations
The University of Maine at Machias has restructured its marine biology program, adding concentrations in aquaculture, marine ecology and coastal conservation.
The revised program will retain a core curriculum focused on experiential learning and foundational scientific knowledge, while offering more flexibility for students and an increased emphasis on career-oriented skill sets, including geographic information systems training. The three optional concentrations were added in response to student interests and needs of the Maine workforce.
