Gulf of Maine Research Institute

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) is a non-profit marine science center based in Portland, Maine, dedicated to the resilience of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem and the communities that depend on it. The institute conducts interdisciplinary research in oceanography, marine ecology, and fishery science to understand the impacts of climate change and human activity. GMRI also provides extensive educational programs for students and works closely with the fishing industry to promote sustainable practices and economic viability. Their work bridges the gap between scientific discovery and practical application in marine resource management. By integrating research, education, and community engagement, GMRI serves as a critical hub for marine innovation in the North Atlantic.
