GMRI works to sustain the Gulf of Maine and its watershed as global treasure for future generations, while ensuring the survival of the commercial and recreational activities that define the character of our coastal communities.

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) catalyzes solutions to the complex challenges of ocean stewardship and economic growth in the Gulf of Maine bioregion. Our dynamic fusion of science, education, and community gives us range to effect change from multiple directions, while our objectivity and commitment to collaboration make us the go-to organization for marine communities grappling with contentious issues, management transitions, and new business systems.
