Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
Gulf of Maine Research Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Maine, that blends science, education and community to address the complex challenges of ocean stewardship and economic growth in the Gulf of Maine bioregion. Founded in 1968, the institute aims to solve problems in two complex systems—marine resources and science education—that have an enormous impact on the sustainability of New England communities.
Gulf of Maine Research Institute provides objective scientific and technical advice to help fishermen and resource managers make informed decisions about the trade-offs among myriad ocean stewardship and use options, gives students access to world-class science learning opportunities and supports their teachers with professional development and curriculum resources.
Our support to the organization ranges from efforts to advance durable groundfish sectors and increase profitability for fishermen to outreach and education support to the fishing industry, fisheries managers and policy leaders. Our work with the institute has recently expanded to the areas of building industry capacity and leadership and increasing participation in key management processes.
Thank you for sharing.
