Welcome to Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML)
Operating under the College
of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell
University in cooperation with the University
of New Hampshire in Durham, SML offers a unique opportunity for students to experience marine science IN THE FIELD!
Located on 95-acre Appledore Island in the Gulf of Maine, this remote – yet accessible environment
allows students to LEARN BY DISCOVERY, surrounded by the ocean and mentored by an outstanding academic staff.
TAKE A TOUR!
The facilities on Appledore Island are complimented by the ocean-going capabilities of the
SML-owned research vessels, JOHN M.KINGSBURY,
and the JOHN B. HEISER.
SML's academic program includes over twenty credit
courses for undergraduates, high school students, graduates and professionals. Opportunities also exist for researchers, citizen science, visiting groups and the general public.
