Maine Maritime Academy’s Corning School of Ocean Studies students and faculty attended the Maine Sustainability and Water Conference in Augusta, ME on Thursday, March 26. In a poster session, Jake Allison and Hannah Mellor, CMES majors, authored and presented “Saltmarsh Vegetation Survey ...Preceding Culvert Replacement and Tidal Flow Restoration in Penobscot, Maine.” Landon Parks, a Marine Biology major, presented her senior research on “Polyethylene Terephthalate Microfiber Uptake in the Marine Sponge Halichondria panicea.”

Professor Karen Merritt presented “Development of a Rapid, Stable and Inexpensive Monitoring Technique for Porewater Sulfide in the Intertidal Zone,” on which Jake Allison is a co-author. Professors Kerry Whittaker and Sarah O’Malley also attended as co-authors and in support of our outstanding students.

This was a perfect forum to highlight research from the Corning School of Ocean Studies and connect with water sustainability scientists and leaders from across the state.

Maine Maritime Academy’s annual Spring Career Fair today brought more than 225 recruiters from over 100 national and international companies to the Alexander Field House—creating powerful connections with our students and future industry leaders.

Representatives from companies like ...Bechtel Corporation, Mitsubishi Power, WIN Waste Innovations, Vane Brothers, and American Bureau of Shipping were on hand to recruit, network, and engage with students across all majors.

Students showed up in force—dressed professionally, building connections, and taking meaningful steps toward careers in marine engineering, transportation, logistics, power, and more.

With more than 50% of MMA students historically earning multiple job offers before graduation, the momentum from today’s event is clear: the demand for Maine Maritime talent remains strong.
