The Gulf of Maine and its resources were significantly impacted by European settlers. This episode reveals how centuries of both ingenious and often disastrous developments resulted in an unsustainable exploitation. As the Gulf warms at a rate faster than 97 percent of the global ocean, we can observe how both people and wildlife are struggling, or in some cases, failing to adapt to these rapid changes.
Cashes Ledge is a remote and relatively pristine part of the Gulf that is home to an unimaginable array of Marine life. Researchers are conducting a study of the area to gain a better understanding of how its cold waters, unique tides, and geological formations provide support for over 3,000 species, spanning from microscopic plankton to massive right whales.
We are at a crucial point for the future of the Gulf of Maine and our world's oceans. Whether it's indigenous scholars leading conservation efforts, scientists monitoring the latest developments, or entrepreneurs discovering new ways to sustainability use the sea, people are forging a new path in these dynamic waters.
