✨ What a night to remember! ✨

A Night by the Bay was an incredible success—together, we raised over $100,000 for student scholarships! 🎉

It was an evening filled with energy, generosity, and a shared commitment to supporting our students. From the exciting auction to the ...meaningful moments of connection, the power of our community was on full display.

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.
