Last week, Maine Maritime Academy’s Interim President, Craig Johnson, joined Gillian Katz, Gulf of Maine Research Institute Ventures Program Manager, for an inspiring discussion as part of the Sea State: Thriving Blue Economy series.

The Gulf of Maine, warming faster than many of the ...world’s oceans, is a hub of resilience and innovation. This dynamic environment thrives due to unique factors like global currents and ocean floor structures, which help it adapt to climate change. Coastal communities, including those connected to MMA, have shown similar determination in embracing change and driving progress.

During the event, Craig Johnson highlighted MMA’s role in fostering workforce development for the blue economy, while Gillian Katz shared insights into the collaborations and innovations advancing this critical field. Together, they showcased how partnerships along Maine’s coast are shaping a brighter future for both the ecosystem and its communities.
