Marine Research

Collaboration to Create Innovation

Our newest endeavor involves creating, deploying, monitoring & storing temp, salinity, d/o, p/h & nitrate data across a network of 10+ autonomous & manually sampled "nodes/stations" in The Basin & on the New Meadows River in collaboration with The Basin Oyster Project, The New Meadows River Shellifish Coop, Bowdoin College & more!!

Rising Wind Sampling

v1

Our 1st 3 unofficial official water sample sites. Aboard the Rising Wind we filtered the water to extract onto a .2 micron filter the phytoplankton & other microorganisms within the water sample. We have shipped the samples to Bigelow Laboratory in East Boothbay, Maine where they will preform an eDNA PCR assay on each sample to we hope initially obtain a broad spectrum analysis of what organisms are in the water!
