From the Bay of Fundy to Cape Cod Bay and 300 miles out to sea, there exists a unique ocean ecosystem known as the Gulf of Maine. The Gulf is one of the most biologically productive habitats on our planet--it is home to a variety of marine mammals including the endangered northern right whale. Offshore ledges and islands, such as Georges Bank and the Isles of Shoals, provide nutrient-rich feeding grounds and safe, shallow nursery habitat for whales and seals. These geophysical and biological attributes render the Gulf of Maine an ideal natural laboratory for the study of marine mammals. Using the Join us as we cruise offshore to observe humpback whales, grey seals, and harbor porpoises.
