Team leader and Maine Sea Grant Extension Agent Natalie Springuel, Science and Technology Coordinator Richard MacDonald, Canadian team members Dan Earle and Sue Hutchins, and Outreach and Education Coordinator Bob DeForrest will all be available to hear your concerns regarding the health of the Gulf, and discuss their journey, findings and mission. Partners for the event include St. Croix International Waterway Commission, Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre, St. Andrews Biological Station, St. Croix Estuary Project, Town of St. Andrews, Eastern Outdoors, Seascape Kayak Tours. The Gulf Of Maine Expedition was organized to raise awareness and caring about the ecology and culture of the Gulf of Maine. Their records capture a snapshot of the Gulf as it is today, providing a unique perspective for monitoring in the future. Their website, www.gomexpedition.org, is updated several times a week to provide an evolving virtual documentary with an active route map, images from the Gulf, observations, and journal entries. The Gulf of Maine Expedition was made possible by the generous financial support of Maine Sea Grant, Maine Coastal Program, Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment, and the New England Biolabs Foundation. Additional equipment and financial support has come from Necky Kayaks, Kokatat, U. Maine Cooperative Extension, and many other businesses and individuals.
